1. Small Solar System OBJECTS

2. 1.Scientist classify these objects based on their sizes, shapes, compositions, and orbits. The major categories include:
-Dwarf planets
-Comets
-Asteroids
-Meteoroids

3. 2.There are three areas of our solar system:
-Asteroids Belts: a region of our Solar System between Mars and Jupiter
-Kuiper Belt: extends to one hundred times Earth’s distance from the sun
-Oort Cloud: stretches out more than one thousand times the distance between the sun and neptune

4. 3.A Dwarf Planet is a planetary-mass object:
-Pluto is an example is a Dwarf Planet
-Dwarf Planets orbit the sun, have enough gravity to pull themselves into spheres, and they have other objects in the area of their orbit
-all of Dwarf Planets orbit beyond Neptune, except Eris
-A Dwarf Planet that orbits beyond Neptune is called a plutoid

5. 4.Comets are astronomical objects with tails
-Comets are made up of loose collections of ice, dust, and small rocky particles
-Comets orbits can be very long, narrow ellipses.
-Most Comets originate in the Oort cloud

6. 5.Asteroids are leftover pieces of solar system that never came together
-Asteroids are usually to small and numerous to be counted
-Asteroids are less than a kilometer in a diameter

7. 6. Meteoroids are mass of rock in space
-Meteoroids are less than 10 meters across
-Friction in the air creates heat and produces a streak of light behind the Meteoroid
