Size: Asteroids are much larger than meteors. Asteroids can range in size from a few feet to hundreds of miles across, while meteors are typically only a few inches to a few feet across.
Composition: Asteroids are made of rock and metal, while meteors are made of ice and dust.
Orbit: Asteroids orbit the Sun in the asteroid belt, which is located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Meteors, on the other hand, can come from anywhere in the Solar System.
Visibility: Asteroids are too small to be seen with the naked eye, but they can be seen with telescopes. Meteors, on the other hand, can be seen with the naked eye when they enter the Earth's atmosphere and burn up.
Impact: Asteroids can have a significant impact on the Earth if they collide with it. Meteoroids, on the other hand, typically disintegrate in the Earth's atmosphere and pose little threat.
