What are some physical characteristics of stars?
Stars are made up of space matter (dust and particles such as rocks) and the gases which keep stars burning are Helium and Hydrogen.
Is the moon made out of rocks and dust?
yes
Are comets just big rocks that come off the moon?
No. They are large clouds of dust and rocks moving through space. When the light from the sun strikes such a cloud, it gives it the appearance of a large solid object moving through space and trailing a tail. In reality, the "tail" is the refracted light on the same side of the cloud as the sun. The sun exerts a gravitational influence on the cloud and the tail generally leads the comet rather than following it. The moon is not involved.
Is dust a matter?
I dont think dust is a matter. As matter requires these two properties, Space and MASS. A dust can only exhibit the property of space *this answer is an opinion*

Rocks, dust, and other space junk
Where are meteroids from?
rocks of dust :)like a big rock with holes in themor a big pile of space dust combine togetherand probably another asteroid hit the Chicxulub asteroid whic cause it to come to earth:(
Starch are long strings of what?
particles of dust that come from space
What about additional matter from space?
Scientists have estimated that several TONS of dust and rocks fall to Earth each day. Some of it is in the form of meteors, which either burn up in the atmosphere (adding dust and vapor) or fall to the ground (adding solid mass). Some of the dust on your bookshelves is space dust.
From what did earth probably form?
The earth poabaly formed by dust particles, rocks, and ice in space after the "Big Bang" .
Where does dust come from and why does it?
Dust is small ground up particles of all kinds of solids including rocks. It comes from natural erosion and human wear and tear.
What is the difference between meteors and stars?
Meteors are made up of rocks and ice and dust from space where as shooting stars are falling stars.
Is it possible to walk on Saturn's rings?
No,It is not possible to walk on Saturn,s rings because it is just a bunch of rocks and dust clustered together.No, Saturn's rings are basically a bunch of space junk such as broken asteroids, space rocks etc.
What causes a comets to have a tail?
The dust and rocks that come off the comet often catch on fire and leave a trail.
Is comets made of ice rocks and dust?
Comets are made mainly from ice, with a slight mixture of small rocks and dust.
