1. COMETS

  • Location/Origin - Most comets originate in the Oort cloud or in the Kuiper belt. Other bodies' gravity can alter their orbits, causing them to pass close to the Sun
  • Shape and Size - Comets are irregular in shape and their average diameter is in 750m (2,460ft) or less to about 20km (65,616ft).
  • Composition - Comets are composed of Dust,Rock and Ices

2. ASTEROID

  • Location/Origin - Asteroids are located in Asteroid Belt,Asteroids are left over from the formation of our solar system. Our solar system began about 4.6 billion years ago when a big cloud of gas and dust collapsed.
  • Shape and Size - Most of them is spherical and most of them is irregular shape,There usual size is 1,000km (1,000,000m) or less in diameters.
  • Composition - Asteroids is composed of Rocks, Metals and other kinds of elements,Some of them even carries water(0).

3. METEORS

  • Location/Origin - Meteors orbit the sun among the rocky inner planets, They can also be found at the edge of our Solar System .
  • Shape and Size - Most meteoroids that cause meteors are about the size of a grain of sand, They are typically irregular shape with rounded edges, Meteoroids have a pretty big size range. They include any space debris bigger than a molecule and smaller than about 330 feet (100 meters) .
  • Composition - Almost all meteoroids contain extraterrestrial nickel and iron. They have three main classifications: iron, stone, and stony-iron. if you don't know Meteor is an Meteoroid, When an Meteoroid falls own to earth and burns it is now classified as Meteor.
