VIDEO LESSON 8 QUARTER 2: COMETS, ASTEROID,AND METEOROID.

 NEOWISE
–DAZZLED ON HUNGARY’S SKY ON JULY 23, 2020 HAVE MADE THE EXPERTS KNOW ABOUT
THE NEAR-EARTH OBJECT (NEO)

 ASTEROID 2012 DA14

–IT MADE A VERY CLOSE APPROACH TO THE EARTH AS IT ORBIT ON THE SUN ON FEBRUARY
16, 2012.
–NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION (NASA).

 COMETS, METEORS, AND ASTEROIDS, COMES IN DIFFERENT SIZES AND

COMPOSITION.
 SILICATES
–ARE TYPES OF METAL THAT CONTAIN SILICON, OXYGEN, AND AT LEAST ONE METAL.

 THE MAIN DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE COMET AND ASTEROID IS THE ORIGIN.

CHARACTERISTICS COMETS METEOR ASTEROID

ORIGIN KUIPER BELT AND MOST ARE FROM ASTEROID BELT

IMPORTANCE TO PROVIDES CLUES ON PROVIDES PROVIDES
RESEARCH HOW LIQUID WATER INFORMATION ON INFORMATION
WAS FORMED ON STAR FORMATION ON THE
EARTH. AND EVOLUTION. COMPOSITION
OF THE EARTH'S
INTERIOR.
  OORT CLOUD
–IT IS THE ORIGIN OF THE COMETS THAT IS BEYOND THE SOLAR SYSTEM.

 ASTEROID BELT
–IT IS WHERE THE ASTEROIDS ORIGINATED.

 KUIPER BELT
–IT IS THE ORIGIN OF THE COMETS LOCATED WITHIN THE ORBIT OF NEPTUNE.

 EARTH'S ATMOSPHERE
–IT IS WHERE METEORS CAN BE FOUND

 MARS AND JUPITER

–MOST ASTEROIDS CAN BE FOUND BETWEEN THESE TWO PLANETS.

 THE ORBIT OF AN ASTEROID SMALL CIRCULAR COMPARED TO THAT OF THE COMET.

 THE ORBIT OF A COMET IS MORE ELONGATED ALL IN ELLIPTICAL IN SHAPE SINCE IT
EXTENDS FROM THE REGION OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM.

 COMETS
 THE DIRTY “SNOWBALL “ OF ICE IS NUCLEUS OF A COMET.
 AS THE COMET GETS CLOSER TO THE SUN, THE ICE MELTS AND EVAPORATES
TOGETHER WITH DUST PARTICLES .THESE PARTICLES OF GASES MAKE A SHINING
“HEAD” AROUND THE COMET CALLED A COMA.
  ASTEROIDS
 THE COMPOSITION OF AN ASTEROID PROVIDES INFORMATION TO THE CHEMICAL
COMPOSITION OF PLANETS IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM.
 IRON AND NICKEL ARE ASTEROIDS COMPONENTS WHICH ARE THE SAME METALS THE
MAKE UP THE EARTH'S CORE.

 METEORIOD
 METEOROIDS
–ARE REMNANTS OR FRAGMENTS OF A ASTEROIDS AND COMETS LOCATED OUTSIDE THE
EARTH'S ATMOSPHERE.

 METEORS
–TERM USED WHEN THESE METEOROIDS ENTER THE EARTH'S ATMOSPHERE.

 METEORITE
–TERM USED WHEN THESE METEORS LANDED ON THE EARTH'S GROUND

Halley’s Comet or Comet Halley,

officially designated 1P/Halley, is a
short-period comet visible from Earth
every 75–76 years. Halley is the only
known short-period comet that is
regularly visible to the naked eye
from Earth, and thus the only naked-
eye comet that can appear twice in a
human lifetime
