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