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