Yes, all of these, plus water ice, can be constituents of meteroroids (tiny asteroids orbiting the Sun).
They are also the substances that comets are made of, as evidenced by their decomposition as the gases are heated by the Sun. Comets are defined by the long tails of material explosively ejected from the comet bodies.
The exact mix is determined by the type of meteoroid and its orbit. Those in the outer solar system are more likely to contain higher percentages of ice and frozen gas. These volatiles are less present in the objects orbiting the inner solar system, due to solar heating.

What is the composition of a comet?
The composition of a comet is frozen gases, dust, and rocks.
What is a mass of gases dust particles and stars located in space called?
simple and easy a comet a comet has a solid center nucleus that contains rock particles trapped in frozen liqud this forms the tail: as it moves closer to the sun the "outer ice" turns to gas and the solid particles (pieces) turn to dust
What object in space has a frozen mass of ice and dust?
the rings around our planets are made out of icy dust particles and frozen gases
What is smoke and dust?
smoke contains a few gases and fine dust particles and is often harmfull for living beings\
What is the necleus of a comet?

Is a mass of frozen gases cosmic dust and rocky particles an elliptical?
Wats and aliptical
What is made up of frozen gases rock particles and cosmic dust?
I'm thinking it's a comet.
What is a statement true about comets?
Comets are mostly made up of dust particles, frozen water and frozen gases. They are usually very hard to see, but as they approach the Sun these particles heat up and become much easier to see. hope it helps

What is a chunk of rock or dust in space?
A chunk of rock or dust floating through space is called a meteoroid. It moves around the Solar System and becomes a meteor if it enters the Earth's atmosphere.
