'Russian meteor'

[Brigadier]

Polar regions, as majority of impact-type material is probably in the orbital plane. Possibly

meteors and asteroids are all in the orbital plane but comets can come from any direction.
Antarctica is known as a good place to find meteors because they stand out against the ice.

Comets are orbital too otherwise they wouldn't keep coming back.

Did someone say they weren't?? Being in the orbital plane means being in the same plane as the planets, meteorites and asteroids are believed to be debris left over from the formation of the planets out of the suns planetary disk.
Comets are believed to come from the Oort cloud, a huge cloud of billions of them completely surrounding the solar system much further out than Pluto. Hence they can come from any direction not just the orbital plane.

dont thing comets coming back ,unless they get a buyer.

 

[joinerjohn]

Nah Comet's went bust last year, so there's nowt going back to them

PS because meteors are in the orbital plane, they can, and do, strike anywhere on Earth, not just in the polar regions.

 

[sooey]

That's right, but being in the orbital plane makes them a bit easier to spot because they're coming from a predictable direction.
Comets can't be spotted so easily because they can come from anywhere in the sky.

I think you will find they usually come from above, although i've been wrong in the past, this time i think i got it right, they usually come from up there and fall down here.. Simples..

 

[sooey]

I think you'll find the sky is above. If you see it below you....you're in the sh*t.
