Answer

Brief Explanations:

  1. Meteors: Streak across the sky very fast (13), also known as shooting stars (11), most burn up as they enter Earth’s atmosphere (12), meteor showers are caused by the Earth passing through the debris path of a comet (16).
  2. Asteroids: Most found in the asteroid belt (7), rocky composition (4), remnants of the formation of the solar system (2), reflect sunlight (3), most have slightly elliptical orbits (9), most are less than 1 km in diameter (8), measure a few kms in diameter (6), most are less than 100 m in diameter (10), most are fragments of large asteroids (14).
  3. Comets: Orbit the Sun in highly elliptical orbits (5), icy objects (15), tail always points away from the Sun (17), progress across the sky very slowly (1).

Answer:

  • Meteors: 11, 12, 13, 16
  • Asteroids: 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 14
  • Comets: 1, 5, 15, 17
