Comets are usually made up of dust and ice. They grow "tails" when they come close to the sun. A nucleus is what comets have in common. These nucleus are usually ice or a rock. Meteors are what we usually call shooting stars. They are these white and short trails that decorates the night sky during meteor showers.
