  • Comet

  • Meteoroid

  • Moon

  • Space Station

Answer

Comets are celestial bodies made of ice, dust, and rock that orbit the Sun. They have an elongated orbit and are characterized by a bright, glowing head and a long, streaming tail that forms as they approach the Sun. Comets are believed to be leftover debris from the early formation of the solar system and provide valuable insights into the conditions and processes that existed during that time.
