SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -Our solar system consists of our star, the Sun, and everything bound to it by gravity – the planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune; dwarf planets such as Pluto; dozens of moons; and millions of asteroids, comets, and meteoroids.

Detailed explanation-2: -An asteroid is a rocky object that orbits the Sun. Asteroids are smaller than a planet, but they are larger than the pebble-size objects we call meteoroids. Comets are small icy dirtballs that orbit the Sun; comets are made of ice and dust while asteroids are made of rock).

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -What Kinds of Meteorites Have Been Found? More than 50, 000 meteorites have been found on Earth.
