Comets are icy bodies that originate in the outer regions of the solar system and develop tails when they approach the sun, whereas asteroids are rocky and metallic bodies that orbit the sun mainly in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Comets are composed of ice, dust, and rocky material, while asteroids are primarily made of rock and metal. Both comets and asteroids can pose a potential threat to Earth if they collide with our planet.
