COMETS • MADE OF ICE, GAS, AND DUST • FOUND BEYOND PLUTO IN THE OORT CLOUD • REVOLVE AROUND THE SUN. • HAS A TAIL AND COMA ASTEROID VS. METEOROID BOTH IN SPACE • LARGE ROCK OR METAL IN SPACE • FOUND IN THE ASTEROID BELT BETWEEN MARS AND JUPITER. • BROKEN PIECE OF ASTEROIDS AND COMETS (SMALLER). • FOUND IN THE ASTEROID BELT BETWEEN MARS AND JUPITER. METEORS • METEOROID THAT REACHES THE ATMOSPHERE. • SHOOTING STARS VS METEORITE • METEOR THAT REACHES EARTH’S SURFACE. OBJECTS IN SPACE • UNIVERSE: SPACE AND EVERYTHING IN IT. • GALAXY: BILLIONS OF STARS, GAS, AND DUST LOOSELY HELD TOGETHER BY GRAVITY. • SOLAR SYSTEM: STAR AND EVERYTHING THAT REVOLVES AROUND IT • STAR: A GIANT BALL OF GAS THAT PRODUCES LIGHT • PLANET: A ROUND OBJECT THAT ORBITS A STAR.
