2. Complete the fact file. Use the comparative form of the words in brackets. Comets are made of ice and pieces of rock. Asteroids are made of rock and metal, and are 1 (heavy). Most comets are much 2 (big) than most asteroids. You can find asteroids 3 (close) to the sun than comets. If comets get too close to the sun, they melt. So you can only find comets much 4 (far) from the sun, where it is 5 (cold) and ice doesn’t melt. Comets are 6 (bright) than asteroids because they have long, white tails. Comets are 7 (rare) than asteroids. There are hundreds of millions of asteroids in our solar system, but far 8 (few) comets — only about 4,000. For this reason, asteroids are 9 (dangerous), as one of them is 10 (likely) to hit the Earth.

Перевод задания: Заполните справочный материал. Используйте сравнительную форму слов в скобках.

Asteroids are made of rock and metal, and are heavier (Астероиды состоят из камня и металла, поэтому они тяжелее).

Most comets are much bigger than most asteroids. (Большинство комет намного больше большинства астероидов.)

You can find asteroids closer to the sun than comets. If comets get too close to the sun, they melt. So you can only find comets much farther from the sun, where it is colder and ice doesn’t melt. (Астероиды можно найти ближе к Солнцу, чем кометы. Если кометы подлетают слишком близко к Солнцу, они тают. Поэтому кометы можно найти гораздо дальше от Солнца, где холоднее и лёд не тает.)

Comets are brighter than asteroids because they have long, white tails. (Кометы ярче астероидов, потому что у них длинные белые хвосты.)

Comets are rarer than asteroids. There are hundreds of millions of asteroids in our solar system, but far fewer comets — only about 4,000. For this reason, asteroids are more dangerous, as one of them is more likely to hit the Earth. (Кометы встречаются реже астероидов. В нашей Солнечной системе сотни миллионов астероидов, но комет намного меньше — всего около 4 000. По этой причине астероиды опаснее: вероятность того, что один из них столкнётся с Землёй, выше.)
