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