Moon is the Earth’s natural satellite. Artificial satellites are man-made and they are sent in space for several scientific purposes. Aryabhatta, INSAT, IRS, Kalpana-1, EDUSAT are some of the Indian satellites.
There is a belt of rocks in between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. They are also part of our solar system and are called asteroids.
A meteor is usually a small object that occasionally enters the earth’s atmosphere. At that time it has a very high speed. The friction due to the atmosphere heats it. It glows and evaporates quickly. They are also called shooting stars in the sky.
Comets are members of our solar system. They also revolve around the Sun. A Comet appears generally as a bright head with a long tail. The length of the tail grows in size as it approaches the sun. The tail of a comet is always directed away from the Sun.
