Actions we could take to promote a more scientific understanding of comets, asteroids, and meteors would start with education. Educate more in schools, colleges, television, and movies.

If something is considered a "superstition", that means it is UNSCIENTIFIC. Once there is evidence that something is true, it will no longer be generally considered a superstition.
Many comets and many asteroids are named, though not all, particulary not all asteroids. As for meteors, as they happen in an instant when a piece of ice, dust, dirt or rock enters the Earth's atmosphere and burns up and then they are gone, they are not named.
No. They do not have enough gravity to hold on to the gasses.
Superstitions in the Philippines regarding comets, asteroids, and meteors do not have a scientific basis. Comets, asteroids, and meteors are celestial bodies that have been studied extensively by astronomers and scientists. They are composed of rock and metal and pose no inherent danger to people on Earth. Superstitions surrounding these phenomena are based on myths and folklore rather than scientific evidence.
Superstitions about asteroids, comets, and meteors have absolutely no scientific basis whatsoever.

Meteors are pieces of asteroids or whole asteroids in the earths atmosphere only. Written By, Brainiocity
You are confusing a couple of concepts. NO superstitious belief has a scientific basis. If a belief is scientifically based, there is no need to call it a superstition. If a belief is superstitious it is by definition not verifiable scientifically. However, there are superstitions that result from some real events. Total eclipses of the sun are real, and they are explainable in completely natural terms. However, people at different times in history have superstitious beliefs about what is happening during an eclipse, and superstitious beliefs that performing certain rituals or prayers during an eclipse will save the world from doom. So, a superstition is an irrational belief usually connected to some magical ritual that will ward off disaster, and some superstitions have to do with real events in the world. But the superstitions themselves are not based in or verified by the real world.
Asteroids.
Not exactly. If small lumps of rock stay out in space, they are asteroids. If they enter the earth's atmosphere they are meteors.
The universe
The physical properties of the meteors are that they are rocky and parts of other asteroids.
In primitive times, meteors were looked upon as messengers of the gods, variously interpreted as the coming of famine, war and other misfortunes. More recently they are seen as omens of good luck, hence the wish made on a shooting star.
