COMMET OR ASTEROID?
HOW CAN YOU TELL?
COMET
A comet is a celestial object consisting of a nucleus of ice and dust and, when near the sun, a “tail” of gas and dust particles pointing away from the sun.
ASTEROIDAn asteroid is a rocky body orbiting the sun. Large numbers of asteroids ranging in size from nearly 600 miles (1,000 km) across to dust particles orbit the sun. There is a large band of asteroids between Mars and Jupiter. Some pass clodse to Earth.
