DIFFERENCE

COMETS

• Comets are interstellar objects that follows long, oval or elliptical orbits around the Sun. They come from deep space, swing around the Sun and head off again, to return years or centuries later. It has three main parts, The nucleus inside its head, the head, and its Tails.

ASTEROIDS

• Asteroids are interstellar bodies that have dark surfaces, they are usually found in the region known as Asteroid belt. Scientists think that asteroids are rich in carbon. Other asteroid are thought to be rocky and to have a core made of iron or nickel.

METEOROIDS

• Meteoroids a very small, almost insignificant chunks of interstellar rocks from out space. If Earth passes through a comet's tail, the particles of dust from it become meteoroids that burn up into our atmosphere, as a spectacular meteor shower.
