Comets Meteors AsteroidsCurious About Astronomy
Jan 16 2015 · Comets are objects composed mostly of ice and dust that grow tails when they approach the sun. All comets have a nucleus which is the hard rock/ice object. When a comet nucleus nears the sun solar energy begins to heat the ice and vaporize it. The gas flies off the comet sometimes violently enough to break the nucleus apart and throws dust

Aug 04 2014 · Meteoroid. Meteoroids are lumps of rock or iron that orbit the sun just as planets asteroids and comets do. Meteoroids especially the tiny particles called micrometeoroids are extremely common throughout the solar system. They orbit the sun among the rocky inner planets as well as the gas giants that make up the outer planets.

A new analysis of the chemical make-up of meteorites has helped scientists work out when the Earth formed its layers. The research by an international team of scientists confirmed the Earth s first crust had formed around 4.5 billion years ago. The team measured the amount of the rare elements hafnium and lutetium in the mineral zircon in a meteorite that originated early in the solar system.
