Question

Compare and contrast comets and meteors. What are the impacts each might have on Earth?

Answer 1

Comets are objects in the space that is composed mainly of dust and ice. While approaching the sun, a tail grows. Comets have nucleus which represents the hard rock object. As it nears the sun, it heats up the comet causing it to vaporize. Meteors, on the other hand, are what we call "shooting stars". They are interplanetary dusts that burn up as it approaches the Earth's atmosphere.
