write a short note on the other celestial bodies asteroids meteoroids and comets in the solar system

Hello mate ❤️
Solar system
The sun and the celestial bodies which revolve around it form the solar system
Asteroids:
Asteroids are minor planets, especially of inner solar system. Asteroids can only be seen through large telescopes
Comets:
Comets are also members of our solar system. They revolve around the sun in highly elliptical orbits. A comet appears generally as a bright head with long tail.
Meteors and meteorites:
These are commonly known as shooting stars, although they aren't stars. A meteor is usually a small object that occasionally enters the Earth's atmosphere. It has a very high speed. it glows and evaporates quickly before reaching the earth. The body that reaches the earth is called meteorite
Hope this helps you :)
Answer:
possibly trillions, of rogue objects orbiting the sun. These spacefarers are too small to be called planets and are given the names of comets, asteroids, meteoroids, and if they reach Earth, meteors or meteorites. With so many labels, it's easy to forget which is which.
Let's start with a brief definition of each.
Asteroids: These are the rocky and airless leftovers from the formation of planets in our solar system. They mostly orbit our sun in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter and range from the size of cars to dwarf planets.
Comets: Comets are dirty space snowballs of mostly ice and dust that formed during the birth of the solar system 4.6 billion years ago. Most comets have stable orbits in the outer reaches of the solar system past the planet Neptune.
Meteoroids, Meteors, Meteorites: Meteoroids are tiny asteroids or the broken-off crumbs of comets and sometimes planets. They range in size from a grain of sand to boulders 3 feet (1 meter) wide. When meteoroids collide with a planet's atmosphere, they become meteors. If those meteors survive the atmosphere and hit the planet's surface, their remains are called meteorites.
