Are the brightest comets those closest to the sun or those farthest from the sun?
The brightness of a comet is not determined by its distance from the sun, but rather by factors such as the size of its nucleus, how recently it has passed close to the sun, and how much dust and gas it is releasing. Therefore, the brightest comets can be found at various distances from the sun.
When do superior planets appear brightest?
Superior planets (those outside Earth's orbit) appear brightest when they are at opposition, which is when they are on the opposite side of Earth from the Sun. This is when they are closest to Earth and fully illuminated by the Sun.
The largest and brightest galaxies are those that contain?
quasars.
what The largest and brightest galaxies are those that contain _____.?
quasars.
What color is epsilon sagittari?
blue those are the brightest stars
What are the closet comets to orbit the sun?
Those that do not survive the encounter.Generally, names given by their discoverers do not last because they, as objects, do not survive. Exceptional cases occur. Halley and Shoemaker-Levy for instance.Many, many objects in our solar system collide with the sun.So the closest are those that collide and are consumed by the sun
What is it meant by apogee and perigee?
Both of those words refer to points in the orbit of an earth satellite ... the moon or any artificial satellite. Apogee . . . the point in the orbit where the satellite is farthest from the earth. Perigee . . . the point in the orbit where the satellite is closest to the earth.
What is the country in Europe that is the farthest north?
Norway, Sweden, and Finland are the three countries in Europe that are the farthest North. If you look at a map Norway is the farthest North out of those three, but only by a small chunk of land.
What are the comets that go through the solar system?
All visible comets go through the solar system. Those that return periodically have elliptical orbits with the sun as one of the foci. Those that do not usually have hyperbolic orbits with the sun as a focus.
When did Comet Crash happen?
The current belief of virtually all astronomers is that comets were "specks" of leftover detritus from the formation of our solar system. Being the lightest of those "specks", they orbit the sun at the farthest distance - the Oort cloud, estimated to be about a light year from our sun. Note, though, that in this usage, "speck" means a ball of dirt laced with ices that's about 3 to 10 kilometers wide.
In what region are most comets at?
We generally believe that comets with orbits of 200 years or less, traveling in the ecliptic plane, come from the Kuiper Belt. Those comets with longer orbits, or that travel at angles to the ecliptic plane, come from the Oort Cloud.
When will there be another comet coming by?
Comets appear when they do; they don't run on a schedule. Hundreds of amateur comet hunters are watching the skies every day. In fact, several new comets have been seen this year; unfortunately, those comets have fallen into the Sun.
