Question 3 • Earth and Space Science
Meteor showers recur when Earth passes through streams of debris left by comets, so their timing can reveal repeating patterns in the solar system. Asteroid flybys involve predicting the paths of individual asteroids, which can be less regular from our perspective and test our ability to track and forecast such events. Thus, choice B correctly contrasts recurring comet-debris alignments with predictions of irregular events.
