Comets, meteors, and asteroids come

in different sizes and compositions. A
relatively higher amount of silicate
content caused these celestial bodies to
reflect light. Silicates are types of
metal that contain silicon, oxygen, and
at least one metal. If an asteroid has
fewer silicate content, then it would be
hard to see it even with the aid of a
telescope because only a small part of
the asteroid can reflect light and it
might seem smaller than its actual size.

Student:( reads the definition)

Both the comet and asteroid orbit the

Earth and move relatively slow when
viewed from the Earth. This means
that you can view a comet for up to a
year in the night sky. The main
difference between the comet and
asteroid is the origin. Comets typically
come from the Oort Cloud which is
beyond the solar system and some
from the Kuiper Belt which is beyond
the Neptune’s orbit.

Long-period comets originate from the

Oort Cloud while a short-period comes
from the Kuiper Belt.

Comet Halley is the most well-known

short-period comet of the 20th century
since it takes 75 to 76 years for this

comet to orbit the Sun. We can view it

in the sky every time it comes closer to
the Sun. All other comets have been
identified as long-period comets since
it takes 200 to several thousand years
to complete their orbit around the Sun.
On the other hand, asteroids originate Students: (reads the definition)
from the Asteroid Belt. These are
found between Mars and Jupiter.

The recent theory states that the

Asteroid Belt was heavily populated
with asteroids, but the gravitational
pull of Jupiter has made these
asteroids thrown. It was also theorized
that Jupiter’s gravitational pull
prevented these asteroids from
forming into a new planet.

Asteroids contain rocks and metals

while comets contain ice or icy objects
including dusts, metals, and elements
like Sodium and Argon. Unlike a
comet, an asteroid is composed of
rocky metals that are mostly Iron and
Nickel.

The “dirty snowball” made of ice is

the 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.

Meteoroids are remnants or fragments

of asteroids and comets located outside
the Earth's atmosphere. Meteoroids
originated from the collision of
asteroids. They were also known to be
the debris of comets that travel around
the sun or debris from the impact of
collision of Mars or the moon with
asteroids.

School Year 2024-2025

When these meteoroids enter the

Earth’s atmosphere, it will then be
called meteors. When these landed on
the Earth’s ground, it is then called
meteorites.

Stony Meteorite,
any meteorite consisting largely of
rock-forming (silicate) minerals. Stony
meteorites, which are the most
abundant kind of meteorite.

Stony Iron Meteorite,

any meteorite containing substantial
amounts of both rocky material
(silicates) and nickel-iron metal. Such
meteorites, which are often called
stony irons, are an intermediate type
between the two more common
types, stony meteorites and iron
meteorites.

of iron, usually combined with small
amounts of nickel.
