Comets are flying bits of rock that don't enter the earth's atmosphere and meteors are flying bits of iron stone or stony iron. Also meteors do enter the earth's atmosphere.
They fly around in space.
No, comets and meteors are not considered to be small planets. Comets are simply considered to be comets, and meteors are simply considered to be meteors. (Meteors are asteroids that have entered the atmosphere.)
Comets
Daniel. Kirkwood has written: 'Comets and meteors' -- subject(s): Comets, Meteors
no only comets.
Meteors. Comets
Superstitions about asteroids, comets, and meteors have absolutely no scientific basis whatsoever.
Comets and meteors were formed, along with the rest of the solar system, about four and a half billion years ago.
Comets are made up of ice, rock, and dust and originate from the outer solar system. They have a tail when approaching the Sun due to the melting of ice. Meteors, on the other hand, are small rocky or metallic particles that burn up upon entering the Earth's atmosphere, creating a streak of light commonly known as a shooting star.
Comets contain ice.
