Yes, chunks of ice with bits of rock and dust are sometimes called dirty snowballs. These objects are known as comets and they originate from the outer regions of the solar system. The dust and rock fragments give them their characteristic appearance.
comets are known to be dirty snowballs.
Comets are often referred to as "dirty snowballs" or "icy mudballs" due to their icy composition mixed with dust, rock, and organic compounds.
Because... they're mainly composed of ice and dust. When they get close enough to be affected by the Sun - the stream of particles forming the 'tail' is formed from ice crystals and dust particles.
because they are made of rocky balls and ice.
Comets are also referred to as dirty snowballs. They are made up of ice, dust, and rocky material, and when they approach the Sun, the ice begins to melt and create a glowing coma around the solid nucleus.
no they are called dirty snowballs because they are rocky and made out of ice
Asteroids are sometimes called," Dirty Snowballs".
Dirty snowballs
(Comets are said to be "dirty snowballs")
No, snowballs are made of ice particles that melt in the vacuum of space. However, comets are sometimes described as "dirty snowballs" because they are a mix of ice and dust particles.

no, only comets develop glowing tails.Fun Fact:some scientists called comets "dirty snowballs"
That's a description sometimes given to comets.
Comets have been described as being like big dirty snowballs. So has the dwarf planet Pluto.
