Answer:

Meteoroids: <em>a small body moving in the solar system that would become a meteor if it entered the earth's atmosphere.</em>

<em>Asteroids</em><em>: Asteroids are small, rocky objects that orbit the Sun. Although asteroids orbit the Sun like planets, they are much smaller than planets. </em>

Comets: <em>Comets are cosmic snowballs of frozen gases, rock and dust that orbit the Sun. When frozen, they are the size of a small town. When a comet's orbit brings it close to the Sun, it heats up and spews dust and gases into a giant glowing head larger than most planets. </em>

<em />

<em>Most meteoroids come from the asteroid belt, having been perturbed by the gravitational influences of planets, but others are particles from comets, giving rise to meteor showers. Some meteoroids are fragments from bodies such as Mars or our moon, that have been thrown into space by an impact.</em>

What makes california stand out from other states
sergey [27]
I think because, on a map, it looks so big, and people want to go there because of that. 

Also, because there are lots of attractions there.

My last reason is because it's so hot, and maybe some people like hot.

Glad I could help, and good luck!
