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