Difference between meteors or comets
  • 1 answers

Meghna Thapar 5 years, 6 months ago

Comet is a body of ice, rock and dust that can be several miles in diameter and orbits the sun. Debris from comets is the source of many meteoroids whereas meteor is a meteoroid that enters the earth's atmosphere and vaporizes. Also called a “shooting star.” Over time, the dust tails of comets form extended clouds of dust and debris which orbit in the same path as the comet which formed them. These occasionally intersect the earth's orbit and the grains of dust burn up in the earth's atmosphere as meteor showers. A meteor is therefore much smaller than a comet.
