What are some similarities between asteroids, meteors, and comets?

Question

Need Answers A.S.A.P. thank you very much!

Answer 1

1. Asteroid: rocky bodies orbiting the sun between Mars and Jupitor. They are thousends in number.
2. Meteors: Any remnant of a celestial body falling through earth's atmosphere burns due to intense friction with the atmosphere, the body glows in night sky. Some of them also reach earth's surface but most of them are vapourised.
3. Comets: they are larger icy bodies of the kuiper belt orbiting the sun. they cut through planetary orbits. When they come near the sun the ice becomes water and spreads away and looks like a long tail.

Answer 2

Similarities Between Asteroids And Meteors

Answer 3

An asteroid is a rock orbiting the Sun. Asteroid sizes vary, from small rocks to huge boulders and more. Most asteroids are found in the Asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.

When a fragment or debris from outer space comes in contact with the Earth's atmosphere, it lights up because of friction, and becomes a meteorite. If a meteorite survives the atmospheric burn-up, and falls to the Earth, it is known as a meteor.

A comet is a rocky body covered in icy materials with a very elliptical orbit. A comet usually originates from the Oort Cloud, a collection of various bodies, beyond the orbit of Neptune. As a comet approaches the Sun, and is heated by the extra energy received, the icy materials melt and evaporate forming the tail of the comet.

Answer 4

There is a theory that comets and asteroids are strongly linked with each other in that when a comet looses its ice, it then turns into an asteroid (provided the gravitational force among the remaining rubbles is strong enough to keep the new body together).

Meteors are not astronomical bodies, instead they are dust-size particles that fall into the Earth and burn out in our atmosphere making them appear as 'falling stars'.

Answer 5

An asteroid is a rock orbiting the sun
Comets orbit the sun but are mainly made of ice
A meteor is a rock falling through the atmosphere and glowing

Answer 6

They all orbit the sun (though their orbits are not similar, comets are elongated, asteroids are ellipses, meteors are earth-bound).
They can all be seen from earth at some point (though may require a telescope).
They are all smaller than the smallest dwarf planet.
They are all remnants of the formation of the solar system.
They are all without an atmosphere bound by gravity.

Answer 7

They are all out in space and according to recent events one of them has a 1 in 45,000 chance of hitting earth in the year 2039. Start the panic now.

Answer 8

They are all the left over crap from the early formation of our solar system.

Answer 9

they have ice gas hellium ...the larger ones have coffe shops and buyers clubs all night hookers and free beer

Answer 10

yes they all are celestial bodies
