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