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