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