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