I will select options (a) Star and planet and (b) Asteroid and comet.
Stars are massive celestial bodies primarily composed of hydrogen and helium that undergo nuclear fusion, producing light and heat, while planets are smaller objects that orbit stars and do not have the ability to sustain nuclear fusion. In contrast, asteroids are rocky bodies that primarily reside in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, while comets are made of ice, dust, and rocky materials and are known for their distinctive tails that form when they approach the Sun and their ices vaporize.
