No, asteroids and comets are classified based on their characteristics and composition. Asteroids are rocky and metallic bodies that orbit the Sun, while comets are icy bodies that develop a fuzzy atmosphere and tail when they get close to the Sun. While some objects can exhibit characteristics of both, they are still considered either an asteroid or a comet based on their main features.
