Some meteors are made of ice because they originate from comets, which are composed of ice, dust, and rocky material. When a comet approaches the Sun, the heat causes the ice to vaporize, releasing gas and dust that can form a meteoroid. These icy meteoroids can then enter Earth's atmosphere, producing meteors made primarily of ice and other volatile compounds. Additionally, some asteroids may contain water ice, contributing to the icy composition of certain meteors.

Meteors are typically solid pieces of rock or metal that enter Earth's atmosphere and burn up due to friction, creating a bright streak of light. Some meteors may contain some ice, but the overall composition is more likely to be rock or metal. Dust and gas can also be present in meteors, but they are not the primary components.
