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