What's the difference between asteroids and comets?
The asteroid belt contains at least 40,000 asteroids that are more than 0.5 miles across.
Clyde Tombaugh also discovered several star clusters, a comet and more than a hundred asteroids.
Asteroids can be a few feet to several hundred miles wide.
The asteroid injured over a thousand people and broke many windows.
Asteroids are not close to each other. They are roughly 1 million miles from each other.

The asteroids capable of causing a global disaster if they hit the Earth are extremely rare.
The sun is at the center of the solar system, and the planets, asteroids, moons, and comets orbit the sun.
In a post-apocalyptic scenario, aliens have discovered Earth and made a museum of the humans that were wiped out by a cosmic collision with an asteroid to the planet.
Astronomers think that if it were not for the giant planet Jupiter exerting its gravitational force on the asteroids in the belt, the inner planets would be constantly bombarded by large asteroids.
The theory of panspermia states that life originated on another planet (or planets) and came to earth on asteroids, meteors, or other cosmic objects.
When Ceres was first discovered it was called a comet. Within a year it was called a planet. Within one more year it was called an asteroid. Since 2006, it has been called a dwarf planet.

Ida was the second asteroid to be observed close-up by a spacecraft, when the Space Probe Galileo took pictures as it flew by on Aug 28, 1993.

"'Tom lives only an hour away,' that's what Mary said at school today. What does that mean, Mum?" Mum thought for a moment. "Well," she began, as she usually began her answers, "a distance can be expressed as a unit of time when you've established a constant rate of speed – it might be the average speed of a pedestrian, a bicycle or a car. But without knowing the context, the most natural choice would be the speed of light in vacuum, according to which–" Mum did the mental arithmetic, Johnny meanwhile scribbling everything down on a notepad, "Tom lives about a billion kilometres away, possibly on an asteroid somewhere near Saturn."
