Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Relatively small bodies which generally orbit between Mars and Jupiter are called asteroids. Meteorites are small fragments of asteroids that have fallen to Earth's surface, comets typically orbit farther from the sun and have a more elongated shape, and dwarf planets are larger bodies that have enough mass to become round, but have not cleared their orbit of other debris.
