CometsComets are objects composed mostly of ice and dust that grow tails when they approach the sun.

Planets are made out of iron, rock, and pretty much everything in the Periodic Table.

You could say meteors are concentrates of the iron, rock, and other stuff. When they hit planets they give it that concentrate that they carry.=)
