Comets, Asteroids and Meteor/oids/ites

Comets

Comets…. Typically a few kilometers (miles) across Contain ice and frozen gases, rocks and dust. “Dirty snowball."

Parts of a Comet

Asteroids!

Asteroids are rich in metals 3554 Amun is a mile-wide and composed of iron, nickel, cobalt, platinum, and other metals It contains 30 times as much metal as the entire amount of metal humans have mined in all history forever.

Meteor/oids/ites

Metoroids 3-10 ft rocks. Very, very, very small, boring asteroids.

Meteors The flash of light you see in the sky. “Shooting Stars.” We have METEOR SHOWERS.

Meteorites The meteoroid once it has landed on Earth.
