Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Comets. Comets orbit the Sun, like asteroids. But comets are made of ice and dust-not rock. As a comet’s orbit takes it toward the Sun, the ice and dust begin to vaporize.
Detailed explanation-2: -All meteorites come from inside our solar system. Most of them are fragments of asteroids that broke apart long ago in the asteroid belt, located between Mars and Jupiter. Such fragments orbit the Sun for some time–often millions of years–before colliding with Earth.
