Meteors, asteroids, and comets are celestial that made of rock, dust, and sometimes ice. It
is a left over from the formation of the solar system and this come in different sizes and
compositions. A relatively higher amount of silicate content caused these celestial bodies to
reflect light. Each of this play a significant roles in shaping the dynamics of our solar system.

Meteors are from asteroid belts and meteors are a small body of matter from outer space
that enters the earth's atmosphere. Becoming incandescent as a result of friction and appearing as
a streak of light, when they burn up due to friction with the air. They create bright streaks of light
in the sky, commonly known as shooting stars. Asteroids are rocky objects that orbit the Sun,
primarily found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Comets are icy bodies that orbit
the Sun, consisting of a nucleus of ice, dust, and volatile gases. When they approach the Sun,
heat causes the nucleus to release gas and form a glowing coma.

Meteors are small celestial objects that burn up in earth's atmosphere, creating bright
streaks of light. Asteroids are rocky bodies that orbit the sun, often found in the asteroid belt.
Comets, on the other hand, are icy bodies with a nucleus that releases gas and forms a tail when
they approach the sun. Each plays a unique role in our solar system.
