Asteroids
Most asteroids come from the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. They are small metallic bodies that orbit the sun but are too small to be considered planets.

Comets are sometimes called dirty snowballs . They are a mixture of ice and dust. A comet's tail always points away from the sun.
