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