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