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