Comets, Asteroids, and Meteoroids

by Bert Wilberforce

Overview

Planets aren't the only objects beyond Earth's atmosphere. This valuable volume explains the difference between comets, asteroids, and meteoroids, their origins, and their significance to us on Earth. Readers will find out about famous comets, the dangers of asteroids, and what a meteoroid has to do with a falling star. A complement to space science curricula, there's plenty of astronomy vocabulary and eye-catching images to capture the interest of stargazers.
