COMETS,
ASTEROIDS
AND
METEORS
COMET

 Is a small icy material which have

two tails made up gas and dust.
 Leftover
of
solar
system
formation for about 4.6 billion
years ago. typically have highly
elliptical (oval-shaped), offcenter orbits that swing near the
Sun.
ASTEROIDS
 A small rocky or metallic body that orbits

the Sun. Hundreds of thousands of
asteroids exist in the solar system.
Asteroids range in size from a few meters
to over 500 km (300 mi) wide. They are
generally irregular in shape and often have
surfaces covered with craters. Like icy
comets, asteroids are primitive objects left
over from the time when the planets
formed
Meteor,
meteoroid and
meteorites
meteor
 A meteor is a light phenomenon or a

streak of light as observed from earth
when a meteoroid passes through
Earth’s atmosphere.
 A meteor shower happens when

Earth passes through the orbit of
comets
meteoroid
 A meteoroid is a fragment of

comet, an asteroid, moon or even
mars.
 A meteoroid is the space rock
fragments before it enter to earth
atmosphere.
meteorites

 When a meteoroids or part of

meteoroids survive passing
through Earth atmosphere, an
land on Earth surface.
