Detailed explanation-1: -Which of the following best describes the movement of planets, asteroids, comets, and meteoroids? They revolve around the Sun.
Detailed explanation-2: -Asteroids and comets formed some 4.6 billion years ago after a giant cloud of gas and dust collapsed and condensed to create the sun. The leftover debris orbiting the sun coalesced into planets, moons, and other objects. Asteroids and comets are the remnants of this process.
Detailed explanation-3: -Which of the following best describes a comet’s motion? They stay in relatively the same place until they fade from sight. Which of the following BEST describes a meteoroid? Pieces of rock and other material that are present in the Solar System.
