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