keiper belt
Which region is it in if the orbit of a comet is 500 times the distance between Pluto and the Sun Explain how you know?
it would be down your pants and will exploed after 0.1
Which planet was thought to be a comet?
That would be Pluto -- and it is not a planet, it is indeed a comet.
What comet passes by Pluto?
Pluto is at the inner edge of the Kuiper belt, which is similar to the asteroid belt but with comets instead of asteroids. Therefore, millions of comets pass by Pluto.
Is it true that Pluto is not in our universe?
Planet Pluto is in solar system and Solar system is in the Universe t, hence Pluto is also in our universe.However Pluto was not part of original Solar sytem but was a comet which was captured in a planetary orbit.

Could Pluto be destroyed by a comet?
No, Pluto is too large to be destroyed by a comet. The comet would just hit and leave a crater on Pluto's surface. Also, comets move quickly when they're close to the sun and slow down a lot when they're in the outer solar system near Pluto. So, any comet that hits Pluto would be moving pretty slowly.
What is the difference between a coment and a meteor?
Basically it is the region of space that defines a comet from a meteor. A meteor comes from the asteroid belt that sits between mars and jupiter where as a comet originates from the ort cloud that surrounds our solar system. It begins in the far reaches past pluto. The great distance and lack of proximity to our sun causes ice and dust to accumulate on the core and if it is in an orbit that takes it close enough to the sun that mix of ice and dust begins to melt and sheds off the comet creating the "tail" that is visible as it passes by. An asteroid does not have any ice to burn off so it is not as visible as a comet. The term meteor is not relevant until the comet or asteroid breaches our atmosphere at that point the comet or asteroid is then referred to as a meteor.
Is the west comet bigger than Pluto?
It is not. It is obvious
What planet may be escaped moon or comet?
Pluto
Which sun-orbiting body can approach Pluto the closest?
A comet can approach Pluto the closest, as can Neptune.
Is a comet in the Oort cloud further from the sun than pluto?
no
Does Halley's comet come into earth's orbit?
It's not in Earths orbit. Halley's orbit [See Link] is highly elliptical, and focused on the Sun. Its perihelion, its closest distance to the Sun, is just 0.6 AU (between the orbits of Mercury and Venus), while its aphelion, or farthest distance from the Sun, is 35 AU, or roughly the distance of Pluto
Can Pluto be a comet?
Pluto is a dwarf planet. It could be an asteroid, or it could be a moon that escaped the orbit of Neptune. It could Not be a comet. Comets are chunks of frozen ice that travel in orbit around the sun, and as they near the sun, parts of the comet melt and leave a trail of melted water in their wake. Pluto never gets near the sun to melt. Pluto never gets nearer the sun than the orbit of Neptune.
Is Planet Pluto considered a small comet or jovian planet?
Neither. It is considered a dwarf planet. It is much larger than a comet.
