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