Small solar system bodies
Small Solar System Bodies:There are various small bodies in the solar system.
Meteors: Meteors are very small stone- like objects that are revolving around the sun. Their existence becomes known only when some of them enter by chance into the earth's atmosphere. When a meteor enteres the atmosphere of the earth, it gets heated due to the friction of the air. The heat produced is so high that the meteor beings to glow and evaporates within a short- time. The path of the meteor, therefore, appears as a streak of light in the night sky. The ,meteors are commonly known as shooting stars although they are not stars.

These are small chunks of ice and dust that revolve around the sun.They are characterised with a small head followed with a long tail. The length of the tail of a comet grows in size as it apporaches the sun. The tail disappears again when the comet moves away from the sun. However, the tail of a comet is always directed away from the sun. Many comets are known to appear again and again after a definite period of time.
