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