Consider the following statements: 1. Comets are icy bodies that develop a glowing coma when they approach the Sun. 2. Asteroids are mostly found in the Kuiper Belt beyond Neptune. Which of the above is/are correct?

1. Statement 1 only
2. Statement 2 only
3. Both 1 and 2
4. Neither 1 nor 2

Correct answer: Statement 1 only

Solution

Comets are icy bodies that heat up near the Sun and form a coma and often a tail, so statement 1 is correct. Asteroids are mainly found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, not in the Kuiper Belt, so statement 2 is incorrect.
