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