Asteroid
Asteroids (from Greek ἀστεροειδής - asteroeidēs, "star-like", from "star" and "like, in form") are a class of small Solar System bodies in orbit around the Sun. They have also been called planetoids, especially the larger ones. These terms have historically been applied to any astronomical object orbiting the Sun that did not show the disk of a planet and was not observed to have the characteristics of an active comet, but as small objects in the outer Solar System were discovered, their volatile-based surfaces were found to more closely resemble comets, and so were often distinguished from traditional asteroids. Thus the term asteroid has come increasingly to refer specifically to the small bodies of the inner Solar System out to the orbit of Jupiter, which are usually rocky or metallic. They are grouped with the outer bodies—centaurs, Neptune trojans, and trans-Neptunian objects—as minor planets, which is the term preferred in astronomical circles. This article will restrict the use of the term 'asteroid' to the minor planets of the inner Solar System.

Astéroïde
Un astéroïde est un objet céleste dont les dimensions varient de quelques dizaines de mètres à plusieurs kilomètres et qui, à la différence d'une comète, tourne autour du Soleil sur une orbite faiblement elliptique (cf. lois de Kepler). Les astéroïdes font partie du système solaire et ne sont pas les satellites d'une planète.

Asteroid
Asteroider kallas de småplaneter som kretsar kring solen, mellan Mars och Jupiters banor. Mellan 1801 och 1807 upptäcktes de fyra första asteroiderna, Ceres, Pallas, Juno och Vesta. Antalet asteroider i solsystemet med en diameter över 1 km uppskattas för närvarande till någonstans mellan 1,1 till 1,9 miljoner. När asteroiderna först upptäcktes antog astronomerna att det var byggnadsmaterial till en planet som inte kunde samlas på grund av Jupiters gravitationsfält. Numera vet man att nästan alla asteroider är kollisionsfragment. Endast ett fåtal relativt stora finns kvar sedan de bildades ur planetesimalerna.

Planetoida
Planetoida (planeta + gr. eídos postać), asteroida (gr. asteroeidés – gwiaździsty), planetka (ang. minor planet) – ciało niebieskie o małych rozmiarach - od kilku metrów do czasem ponad 1000 km, obiegające gwiazdę centralną (w Układzie Słonecznym - Słońce), posiadające stałą powierzchnię skalną lub lodową, bardzo często – przede wszystkim w przypadku asteroid mniejszych i mało masywnych – o nieregularnym kształcie, często noszącym znamiona kolizji z innymi podobnymi obiektami.
