Asteroids and comets are important components of the Solar System that provide insights into its formation and evolution. Asteroids are primarily found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter and are remnants from the early solar system that never coalesced into planets. They vary in size and composition, and studying them can reveal information about the building blocks of planets. Comets, on the other hand, are icy bodies that originate from the outer regions of the Solar System, such as the Kuiper Belt and the Oort Cloud. When they approach the Sun, they develop tails due to the sublimation of their ices, creating spectacular displays. Both asteroids and comets can also pose potential threats to Earth, and understanding their orbits and compositions is crucial for planetary defense and for future exploration missions.
