- small fragments of rock and metal that float and move in

space
i) Has varying sizes, i.e. between 10 μm to 1 m.
2) Constructed of rocks and metals such as iron and nickel.
3) Derived from asteroid debris and comets.
4) The temperature of a meteoroid in outer space is in the
range of 0 ° C.
5) The speed of meteoroid movement varies. The fastest
moving meteoroid is at a speed of 42 km s-1.

- large rocks and metals that orbit the Sun according to its
own orbit
1) Sizes range from 1 m to 1 000 km.
2) Constructed of rocks and metals such as iron and nickel.
3) Cold surface temperature, which is around -73 ° C.
4) The average speed of an asteroid orbiting the Sun is at
25 km s – 1. • Asteroids form an asteroid belt between the
orbits of the planets Mars and Jupiter
5) Large asteroids consist of Ceres, Pallas, Juno and Vesta
that have diameters from a few kilometers to a thousand
kilometers.
6) Asteroids are also referred to as minor planets.
- a small body consisting of a mixture of ice, gas and frozen
dust that moves around the sun according to its own orbit
1) Consists of two main parts, namely the head and tail.
2) The length of a comet's tail can reach up to 150 000 000
km. The size of its head can reach 250 000 km.
3) Constructed of gas and water that freezes into ice and a
bit of dust and rocks.
4) It circulates around the Sun according to its own elliptical
orbit.
5) Moving with an average speed range of 10 km s – 1 to 70
km s – 1
