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