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