What is the point of origin for Halley comet?
it is the time when the tail is facing the north of the other comets like this <halleys tail is north of the other comets when they go > this way
Where is the earth in its orbit when its traveling at its fastest?
At the point when it is closest to the sun.
Why do comet tails point in different directions?
A comet is comprised mostly of ice. The tail of the comet is caused by cosmic winds, from our sun, blasting particles off the comet's surface, the tail does NOT point in the opposite direction of travel, as one might expect, but points directly away from the source of the solar winds. That's why a comets tail, (from our perspective) may be traveling in a certain direction but have it's tail pointing in the SAME direction.
Which direction does Halley's Comet point?
Same as any other comet: away from the Sun.Same as any other comet: away from the Sun.Same as any other comet: away from the Sun.Same as any other comet: away from the Sun.
Where does a comet have the most potential energy?
At its aphelionThe aphelion is the point in the orbit of a planet or comet that is at the greatest distance from the sun.

What do you call to the point where the earth is fastest from the sun?
Aphelion is the point in the orbit of a planet, asteroid, or comet at which it is furthest from the sun.

Where does the earth travel fast?
The Earth travels around the sun in an orbit that is in an elliptical (oval) shape. The sun is not in the center of the oval, but nearer to one end. The point in Earth's orbit when it is closest to the sun is called the perihelion, and that is also the point when the Earth is traveling fastest in its orbit. Where it is furthest from the sun (aphelion) is where it is traveling slowest.
What does solar wind and its effect on a comet?
Solar wind makes a comet's tail always point away from the Sun.
Where does a comet have the most potential energy?
At its aphelionThe aphelion is the point in the orbit of a planet or comet that is at the greatest distance from the sun.
