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