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