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