  1. Asteroids are found in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter
  2. Meteors are found in the Earth’s atmosphere, dry, barren land, or Antarctica.
  3. Meteoroids are chunks of rock or metal that orbit the sun
  4. Meteors are when meteoroids pass through Earth’s atmosphere and burn up.
  5. Comets are nicknamed ‘dirty snowballs’
  6. Meteor showers occur when earth passes through debris
  7. Comets move in a highly elliptical orbit around the Sun
  8. A comet’s nucleus is made up of frozen water and gases mixed with dust and rock material
  9. Some asteroids have water-ice trapped in their rubble mass
  10. Comets are found in the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud.
  11. Asteroids revolve around the Sun in elliptical orbits
  12. Comet tails can be millions of miles long
  13. Meteors can be called “shooting stars”
  14. Asteroids are made up of rock
  15. 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
  16. Comets are primarily composed of ice, dust, and rock
  17. Millions of asteroids exist in the solar system.
  18. Meteors are small pieces of rock or metal from space that burn up when entering Earth’s atmosphere
  19. Meteors move when it enters Earth’s atmosphere. Doing so can slow down its orbital speed.
  20. Meteors are sometimes observed with red, yellow, or green trails.
  21. A coma is the dusty, gaseous atmosphere that surrounds the nucleus of a comet
  22. Some asteroids have moons
  23. Comets have two tails; a dust tail and an ion tail
  24. Meteorites are meteoroids that survive their passage through the atmosphere and land on Earth’s surface.
