Solution

Comets are celestial objects made up of frozen gases and dust that orbits around the sun. It possesses a tail of dust or gas.
Ateroids are small solar system bodies made up of metal and rock that revolve around sun. They orbit the sun in space between Mars and Jupiter.
When the meteoroid enters the earth’s atmosphere, it vaporizes and this is called a meteor.
