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