The asteroids and comets are the Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) that orbit the Sun, but their orbits bring them into Earth's neighbourhood - within 30 million miles of Earth's orbit.
Most of the rocky asteroids probably formed in the warmer inner solar system between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, while comets, consist mostly of water ice with embedded dust particles, built in the cold outer solar system.
