A meteoroid is an asteroid that enters the earths atmosphere. A meteor is actually the tail of light streaming behind it. A meteorite is the peice that hits the ground.

A quasar is (I think) a kind of collapsed star.

A Nebula is a cloud of dust and "Stellar Debris" left over from a stellar outgassing or Nova.

Asteroid = Chunk of space rock.
D: My final Answer.

I could be wrong though. I have been drinkin'.
