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