Comets are lumps of ice, dust, and rock that orbit the Sun. The typical comet has a core that is a few kilometers in diameter. Comets are often called the "dirty snowballs" of the Solar System.

Meteors are meteoroids that get pulled into Earth's atmosphere by Earth's gravity. When a meteor hits the atmosphere it will heat up and burn with a bright streak of light called a "falling star" or a "shooting star." If several meteors occur at the same time and near the same place in the sky, it is called a meteor shower. A meteorite is a meteor that does not entirely burn up and makes it all the way to the ground.

Hope that helped and if yes then mark my answer the brainliest !!
