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