Comet & Asteroid Symmetry

To have a common basis of understanding of what is taking place with comets, the following matter & antimatter definitions will be use for asteroids, small asteroids, interstellar dust particles, & solar wind and comets , fragments, comet dust particles, & comet ions.

Matter	Mass  (grams)	Diameter (centimeters)	AntiMatter
asteroids	10 9  - 10 21 grams (10 3 - 10 15 MT)	10 3  - 10 7 cm (10 m - 100 km)	comets
small asteroids	10 -3  - 10 9 grams	10 -1 - 10 3 cm	fragments
interstellar dust	10 -3  - 10 -21 grams	10 -1 - 10 -7 cm	comet dust
solar wind	10 -21- 10 -27 grams	10 -7 - 10 -9  cm	comet ions

Please note: the cube of the diameter is the mass; & cube root of the mass is the diameter.

Symmetry exist between asteroid's composition & comet's composition. Interstellar dust particle's composition & density in the solar system has been measured.

The solar wind & interstellar dust particles penetrate the coma around the nucleus, which is similar to earth' magnetosphere, and blast anti-neutrons, comet ions, comet dust particles & fragments off the nucleus to create the comet's coma and tails.
