Asteroids, Meteors, and Comets - Call List

(Print) Use this randomly generated list as your call list when playing the game. There is no need to say the BINGO column name. Place some kind of mark (like an X, a checkmark, a dot, tally mark, etc) on each cell as you announce it, to keep track. You can also cut out each item, place them in a bag and pull words from the bag.

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