Answer:
A meteorite is a solid piece of debris from an object, such as a comet, asteroid, or meteoroid, that originates in outer space and survives its passage through the Earth’s atmosphere and impact with the Earth’s surface or that of another planet.
A comet is a celestial object consisting of a nucleus of ice and dust, when zipping around the sun, forms a “tail” of gas and dust particles pointing away from the sun. Comets are often referred to as “dirty snowballs,” left over from the formation of stars and planets billions of years ago.
