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