Yes, asteroids orbit Sun, even meteors and comets. But generally, every pieces of asteroid doesn't have orbits, it has a zone. They bump each other until they form into a larger ones. If an asteroid got out of the zone it now move freely into space and crashes into a planet by gravity. Astronomers now detected a planet, or a dwarf planet, or still an asteroid itself, called Ceres

What is true about asteroids?

Asteroids are small rocky bodies that orbit the Sun, primarily found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.

How are asteroids and comets the same?

They both orbit the sun.


Do moons and asteroids orbit the sun?

Asteroids orbit the sun. Moons orbit planets and planets orbit the sun. So you could say the moons orbit the sun. However, moons are kept in their orbits by the gravity of their planet and planets are kept in orbit by the gravity of the sun. So in that sense, moons do not orbit the sun.
