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