What is the difference between a coment and a meteor?
Basically it is the region of space that defines a comet from a meteor. A meteor comes from the asteroid belt that sits between mars and jupiter where as a comet originates from the ort cloud that surrounds our solar system. It begins in the far reaches past pluto. The great distance and lack of proximity to our sun causes ice and dust to accumulate on the core and if it is in an orbit that takes it close enough to the sun that mix of ice and dust begins to melt and sheds off the comet creating the "tail" that is visible as it passes by. An asteroid does not have any ice to burn off so it is not as visible as a comet. The term meteor is not relevant until the comet or asteroid breaches our atmosphere at that point the comet or asteroid is then referred to as a meteor.
