Asteroids, Meteors, and Comets - Call List

(Print) Use this randomly generated list as your call list when playing the game. There is no need to say the BINGO column name. Place some kind of mark (like an X, a checkmark, a dot, tally mark, etc) on each cell as you announce it, to keep track. You can also cut out each item, place them in a bag and pull words from the bag.

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