The Comets.
A comet is often referred to as a "dirty snowball" in science. Comets are made up of ice, dust, and rocky materials, giving them a reflective icy appearance when they are closer to the Sun.
Asteroids are sometimes called," Dirty Snowballs".
Comets are often referred to as "dirty snowballs" because they are a mixture of ice, dust, and rocky particles. As a comet travels closer to the sun, the ice sublimates, releasing gas and creating a glowing coma (atmosphere) and tail. The appearance of a comet can resemble a snowball covered in dirt due to this process.
