In Thailand, there is a belief that comets and asteroids are omens of bad luck or impending disaster. Some people think that seeing a comet in the sky may bring about wars or other calamities.

These superstitions are rooted in traditional Thai folklore and cultural beliefs.

What are facts about comets and asteroids?
Comets are icy bodies that originate in the outer regions of the solar system and develop tails when they approach the sun, whereas asteroids are rocky and metallic bodies that orbit the sun mainly in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Comets are composed of ice, dust, and rocky material, while asteroids are primarily made of rock and metal. Both comets and asteroids can pose a potential threat to Earth if they collide with our planet.
What are relatively small rocky objects that revolve around the sun?
SmallRocksIt depends on how much you mean by small. Comets, the smallest rocks orbiting Sun, are closest to Sun. Asteriods, orbitting Sun along the asteroid belt between Mars' and Jupiter's orbits, are still small but bigger than comets. Planets and natural satellites are also rock and orbit Sun but are a lot bigger.

What is the gap called between mars and Jupiter?
Between the orbit of Mars and Jupiter, there is the asteroid belt. This is made up of millions of small rocks that are in a direct orbit around the sun. Most of these objects are boulder sized or smaller, but some are quite large. The largest is a Dwarf planet called Ceres, which is around 975km in diameter. Its the only one in the asteroid belt called a dwarf planet as it it big enough, and has enough gravity to make itself into a spherical shape.
Do comets orbit Jupiter?
Yes, some comets have been observed to orbit Jupiter. These comets can either be captured by Jupiter's gravity and become temporary moons, or have their orbits altered by Jupiter's gravitational pull.
