same way everything else travels through space..

See there is this thing we call space, there is an awful lot of space out there, SO MUCH SO that there is mostly nothing out there, in every direction going on for billions of light years.

Since there is so much space and so little stuff all the stuff just floats around governed by the laws of physics and gravitation.

Do comets and meteors have anything in common?

Yes they do, they are both rocks from outer-space. They both have a nucleus and they both travel in space. The thing that comets and meteors have in common is that they all travel in space and most of them all have not changed because of their formation in the solar nebula.


Can a space shuttle land on mars?

No. A meteorite is an object that has already come through the Earth's atmosphere from space. On the way down, they are called meteors. A space shuttle, whether above or below the atmosphere, would need to avoid meteors at all costs. Since meteors are just rocks on the way from space to Earth, a shuttle therefore could not travel to them. Two kinds of space objects that spacecraft "could" travel to are comets and asteroids. But the space shuttle is not the proper kind of vehicle for such explorations.

Can sound energy travel through the vacuum of space?

No sound can travel through space. Sound travels by vibrating adjacent molecules. The sound wave travels along these molecules until it dissipates with distance. In the vacuum of space, there are no molecules (this is not considering celestial bodies like planets or meteors because they are not a part of the vacuum), so sound cannot travel.
