Let me tell you what each word mean here.

1) NEBULA- It is a cloud of gas and dust as seen in outer space. Mostly visible during night time as an indistinct white patch.

2) COMETS- A comet is an icy small solar system body that when passing close to the sun heats up and begin to outgas.

3) ASTEROID- A small rocky body orbiting the sun. A large number of these, ranging enormously in size are found in between the orbit of Mars and Jupiter.

4) CORONA - It is the luminous plasma "asmosphere" of sun and the other celestial bodies extending millions of kilometres in space.

In 1978 heily was supposed to fall on earth and India was also one of target whether it was corona or nebula or meteorite?

The outermost region of the sun's atmosphere; visible as a white halo during a solar eclipse this is called corona.

A corona (Latin, 'crown') is a type of plasma that surrounds the Sun and other celestial bodies.
