Which of these objects reflect light and which emit light Comets Asteroids Planets Sun Meteors Stars?
Objects that reflect light include planets, asteroids, and comets. The Sun emits light as it is a star. Meteors are visible as they burn up in the Earth's atmosphere, reflecting some light. Stars emit their own light through fusion reactions.
How are meteors asteroids and comets the same and different?
Meteors, asteroids, and comets are all objects in space. Meteors are shooting stars that enter Earth's atmosphere, asteroids are rocky objects that orbit the Sun mostly in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, and comets are icy objects that orbit the Sun in more elongated paths. While they all originate from space, their composition and behavior can vary significantly.
What is the difference between young stars old stars and dead stars?
Young stars are newly formed stars, often bright and hot, that are still in the early stages of their life cycle. Old stars are stars that have aged and passed the main sequence phase, becoming cooler and larger. Dead stars refer to objects that were once stars but have reached the end of their life cycle, such as white dwarfs, neutron stars, or black holes.
What an is a rocky object that orbits the sun between the planets?

How shooting stars are formed?
Shooting stars are not actually stars, but bits of dirt and dust, that burn up in our atmosphere. Lots of things create the dirt. For example, when a comet comes near the sun, they begin to melt and pieces break off the object. They are left floating in space. When Earth passes through these bits of dirt, they get into our atmosphere, where they burn. They are called meteors. So-called shooting stars or falling stars are meteors, debris that hits Earth's atmosphere and burn as they fall towards it. As this happens they leave a brief trail of light giving it the appearance of a star, but stars do not in fact fall to Earth. Meteors can be seen on any night, but at certain times of year we pass through dirtier areas of space and more debris gets into our atmosphere and we see more meteors than usual. These cause what we call meteor showers, like the Perseids in August or the Leonids in November.

What is the difference between stars planet and galaxys?
Galaxies are formed by stars, planets, comets, meteors, and other space bodies.Stars have their own source of energy, tones of hydrogen burned into hellyum every second, while planets don't have, and get heat from the nearest star. Stars are the furnace of the universe eventually allowing planets to develop life, like the Earth.
What is the difference between stars and shooting stars?
First off, shooting stars aren`t actually stars. They`re actually pieces of space rock called meteors. When meteors enter Earth`s atmosphere, they burn up, producing bright lights as they move through the sky. That is, if it`s night. If it`s day, then you can`t see them light up. Meteors are so fast that people say they`re faster than a speeding bullet, hence the name ''shooting'' star.
What are meteors commonly known as?
