Asteroids, Meteors, and Comets - Call List

(Print) Use this randomly generated list as your call list when playing the game. There is no need to say the BINGO column name. Place some kind of mark (like an X, a checkmark, a dot, tally mark, etc) on each cell as you announce it, to keep track. You can also cut out each item, place them in a bag and pull words from the bag.

  1. Asteroids revolve around the Sun in elliptical orbits
  2. A coma is the dusty, gaseous atmosphere that surrounds the nucleus of a comet
  3. Asteroids are found in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter
  4. Comet tails can be millions of miles long
  5. Millions of asteroids exist in the solar system.
  6. Comets have two tails; a dust tail and an ion tail
  7. Meteors are sometimes observed with red, yellow, or green trails.
  8. Meteor showers occur when earth passes through debris
  9. Some asteroids have moons
  10. Meteors are small pieces of rock or metal from space that burn up when entering Earth’s atmosphere
  11. Comets move in a highly elliptical orbit around the Sun
  12. Some asteroids have water-ice trapped in their rubble mass
  13. A comet’s tail is caused when they’re partly vaporized by the sun. The tail doesn’t follow behind the comet’ it always points away from the sun
  14. Meteoroids are chunks of rock or metal that orbit the sun
  15. Comets are primarily composed of ice, dust, and rock
  16. Asteroids are made up of rock
  17. Comets are nicknamed ‘dirty snowballs’
  18. Meteors can be called “shooting stars”
  19. Meteors are when meteoroids pass through Earth’s atmosphere and burn up.
  20. Meteorites are meteoroids that survive their passage through the atmosphere and land on Earth’s surface.
  21. Comets are found in the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud.
  22. Meteors are found in the Earth’s atmosphere, dry, barren land, or Antarctica.
  23. Meteors move when it enters Earth’s atmosphere. Doing so can slow down its orbital speed.
  24. A comet’s nucleus is made up of frozen water and gases mixed with dust and rock material
