  1. Other parts of the solar system

  2. Comets Small body of ice, rock and dust loosely packed together that orbits the sun

  3. Comet Parts • Tail • Ion-electrically charged ions, always points away from the sun • Dust- follows the orbit of the comet • Can extend millions of km • Nucleus • Averages 3 miles in diameter, by can be between ½ and 100 km • Solid, rocky, icy center • Shows different features near the sun

  4. Orbit • Highly elongated • Very elliptical Origin • Oort cloud- sphere the surrounds the solar system • Kuiper Belt- outside orbit of Neptune

  6. Asteroids Small rocky bodies in orbit around the sun. Located between Mars and Jupiter in the Asteroid Belt.

  7. Types • Outer-dark red to black, organic • Middle- dark gray, carbon • Inner- light gray, metallic
