Asteroids and comets differ in their composition, orbit and many other ways. The primary differences are that asteroids are made up of rocky and metallic material, while comets are made of ice, frozen gases, dust and other stuff. Asteroids also orbit the sun closer than comets do. 2. What is the difference between a meteor and meteorites?
