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