Want to learn about comets, asteroids, and meteorites? This 5-minute video is a perfect introduction into comets, asteroids, and meteorites, great for elementary and middle school learners alike.
Students learn some basic facts about asteroids in our solar system, mainly about the size of asteroids and how that relates to the potential danger of an asteroid colliding with the Earth. Students are briefly introduced to the destruction that would ensue should a large asteroid hit, as it did 65 million years ago.
Some astronomers believe that one reason Earth is habitable is that the gravity of Jupiter protects us from comets. Long-period comets, in particular, enter the solar system from its outer reaches. Jupiter’s gravity is thought to sling most of these fast-moving ice balls out of the solar system before they can get close to Earth.

Asteroid surfaces age and redden much faster than previously thought — in less than a million years, the blink of an eye for an asteroid. This study has finally confirmed that the solar wind is the most likely cause of very rapid space weathering in asteroids. This fundamental result will help astronomers relate the appearance of an asteroid to its actual history and identify any after effects of a catastrophic impact with another asteroid.
This is an impressive comparison of asteroid sizes. Some of the asteroid names out there are mentioned and compared. See enormous sizes co...
