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