No. Comet's are made of ice, dust, and rocks leftover from the formation of stars. They usually circle the sun.
Now: A Meteor is a rock in space. When it enters earth's atmosphere it becomes a meteoroid. When it hits earth's surface it becomes a meteorite.
No.
A comet - is a 'lump' of ice and dust that orbits the solar system - returning periodically to be visible from Earth. A meteoroid - is a small piece of rock that usually burns up in the Earth's atmosphere.
A "meteorite" is the word for a meteoroid that impacts Earth's surface.
probably or mostly a meteoroid (scientific answer)
a big giantic hole in the ground
Asteroid: elatively small, inactive body, composed of rock, carbon or metal, which is orbiting the Sun. Comet: A relatively small, sometimes active object, which is composed of dirt and ices. Comets are characterised by dust and gas tails when in proximity to the Sun. Far from the Sun it is difficult to distinguish an asteroid from a comet. Meteoroid: A small particle from an asteroid or comet orbiting he Sun. Meteor:A meteoroid that is observed as it burns up in the Earth's atmosphere - a shooting star. Meteorite: A meteoroid that survives its passage through the Earth's atmosphere and impacts the Earth's surface.A meteoroid is a meteor that hits earth and is recorded, a meteor just keeps orbiting, and orbiting the sun
Part of a meteoroid that strikes earth's surface is known as a meteorite. These are some of the bodies that are found in outer space.
The Comet Strikes was created in 1971.

A meteoroid is a rock in space. If it strikes the earth's atmosphere, it will create a meteor, which is a streak of light in the sky. If the meteoroid was large enough, it may reach the ground. Once it has hit the ground it is called a meteorite.

Yes. A comet or asteroid can break up to form a chunk of rock called a meteoroid.
