An asteroid is basically a rock in space.
A meteor is basically a space rock falling into our atmosphere.
Therefore, meteors are asteroids that are falling into our atmosphere, there is no size comparison, only a location and action change.

∙ 13y agoComets are typically larger than asteroids. Comets are made up of ice, dust, and rocky material and can range in size from a few hundred meters to several tens of kilometers in diameter. In contrast, asteroids are usually smaller rocky bodies that can vary in size from a few meters to several hundred kilometers across.

∙ 9y agoNo. An asteroid is an object made of rock and/or metal. A comet is made largely of ice.

∙ 9y agoPlanets are generally much larger than asteroids. Some extremely large asteroids are classed as dwarf planets, but there are not many of them.

∙ 9y agoNo. generally speaking comets and asteroids fall into the same size range.

They both revolve around the sun and they are both smaller than planets or moon.
The generally accepted order would be Comet, Asteroid, Moon, Planet, Sun. However, there is considerable overlap in sizes among asteroids and moons. Some of the moons of Saturn are fairly small, and the moons of Mars are both smaller than the average asteroid.
Ceres is smaller than any planet; even smaller than Pluto.
Scientists usually refer to this as an asteroid, not a comet. It's the asteroid that caused the Chicxulub crater.
An asteroid, because the orbits of the asteroids are nearer to the earth than the comets.
No. For one thing, Halley's comet is a comet, not an asteroid. The largest asteroid is Ceres, which is far larger than Halley's comet.

It IS an asteroid. (The biggest.)

Depends on the comet. Size varies. But they are usually smaller.
An asteroid
No. Pluto is considered a "dwarf planet" and in terms of composition is more like a comet than an asteroid.

A rock or metal that is smaller than an asteroid and orbits the sun is known as a meteoroid. Meteoroids are space rocks that range in size from tiny particles to larger boulders. When a meteoroid enters Earth's atmosphere and burns up, it creates a streak of light known as a meteor or shooting star.
