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