Comets and meteors are different things, but usually confused with each other, along with asteroids. Meteoroids are shooting or falling pieces of stars, and meteors are passages of those, or from comets. Comets are made out of gas, ice, and possibly other materials and begin to heat up when close to the sun, giving them a "tail". Asteroids are minor planets made out of metal and stone. The only relation between meteors and comets is that meteors CAN be passages of comets.
