Comets are mostly water and carbon dioxide, with a little bit of other materials, including some organic molecules. Asteroids are mostly carbonaceous or iron (metal).

What are the characteristic of asteroids?
they are hot blue and black
What is difference between a comet and a astriod?
Comets are composed of ice, dust, and rocky material, while asteroids are primarily made up of metals and rock. Comets have a tail that forms when they are close to the sun, due to the melting of their icy surface, while asteroids do not exhibit this tail. Comets generally have more elliptical orbits compared to asteroids, which typically have more circular orbits.
How are coments different from asteroids?
Comets are composed mostly of ice while asteroids are mostly made of rock or metal.
Are Asteroids made up of dust and ice.?
Actually generally speaking Asteroids are heavily composed of high density rock. Dust and Ice are generally the properties of a Comet mostly because they aren't formed near the sun.
Is a comet a large chunk of rock or metal?
astroid

Are asteroids and comets rocks?
Asteroids are composed mainly of rock, metal, or a mixture of the two. Comets are a mixture of ice and rock.
