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