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