Answer:
1: How are asteroids formed?
Asteroids are formed from the leftover material after the sun and the planets formed.
2: How frequently do comets pass the Earth?
Comets enter the inner solar system every few months. Some years there are many comets entering in a single month. (From Ashley at Lewis and Clark Middle School in Meridian)
3: Has a comet ever hit our moon, and how many?
Comets impact the moon quite a bit. There are a lot of impact craters that you can see on the moon, and that happened from different meteorites, comets, and asteroids hitting the moon. (From Caden at Cynthia Mann Elementary School in Boise)
4: What was the first ever comet's name?
The first comet was called the Great Comet of 1680. It was also called Kirch's comet, and it was observed around 1680. Then it went away. However, we are still tracking it today. As of a couple of years ago, it was about 23 astronomical units (the distance between the Earth and the sun) away from the sun. (From Simran at Dalton Elementary School in Dalton Gardens)
5: What are inside asteroids?
The largest asteroids are actually big enough that they differentiate the interior. So, deep in the interior of these asteroids are iron and other metals.
