ASTEROIDS,COMETS,AND  METEOROIDS  are   all   debris  remaining  from  the    nebula  in  which   the Solar  System   formed 4.6  billions  years  ago.Asteroids  are  rocky   bodies   up  to  about  1,000  km  in  diameter  ,  although     most  are   much  smaller .Most  of  them  orbit    the  Sun    in  the asteroids   belts,  which lies   between   the  orbit     of  mars  and Jupiter.Comets   may  originate  in    huge   cloud (called  the   ourt cloud),  that  is  thought  to   surround   the  Solar System .They  are made  of  frozen  gases  and dust ,  and  are  a  few  kilometer  in   diameter
Occasionally   ,  a  comet  is   deflected    from  the Oort  Cloud    to  orbit  the sun   in  a  long , elliptical  path. As    the  comet approaches   the  sun ,  the  comet's  surface   starts  to  vaporize   in  the  heat ,   producing  a  brightly   shining   coma( a  huge  sphere  of gas   and  dust   around  the  nucleus), a  gas   tail  , and  a  dust  tail.Meteoroids    are  small   chunks  of  stones   and iron ,  some  of   which are   fragments  of   asteroids  and  comets .Meteoroids    range  in  size   from   tiny    dust  particles   to  objects   tens  of  metres  across.If  a  meteoroid   enters    the  Earth's   atmosphere   it  is  heated  by friction  and appears  as  a   glowing  streak  of  light   called  a  meteor  (also  known  as  shooting   star).Meteor  shower  occur   when  the  Earth   passes  through     the  trail  of  dust  particles   left  by a  comet . Most    meteors   burn  up    in  the  atmosphere  .The   few  that  are   large enough     to  reach  the  Earth  's   surface   are  termed  meteorites.
