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