What else can I help you with?
How do the the orbits of comets and asteroids compare to that of planet Earth?
they go around the sun like the earth
Which of these hit the earth comets or asteroids?
It is possible for comets and asteroids to hit Earth, but they are extremely rare events.
Has a rogue planet ever come near earth?
As far as we know, no rogue planet has ever come near Earth. Comets and asteroids have come near Earth, but not actual planets.
What are facts about comets and asteroids?
Comets are icy bodies that originate in the outer regions of the solar system and develop tails when they approach the sun, whereas asteroids are rocky and metallic bodies that orbit the sun mainly in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Comets are composed of ice, dust, and rocky material, while asteroids are primarily made of rock and metal. Both comets and asteroids can pose a potential threat to Earth if they collide with our planet.
How can comets and asteroids affect earth?
Comets and asteroids can potentially impact Earth, causing damage due to the energy released upon impact. They can also bring valuable resources to our planet, such as water and metals. Additionally, dust and gas released by comets passing close to Earth can affect our atmosphere and climate.
Why is the earth spherical in shape while most asteroids and comets are not?
Earth is much more massive than asteroids and comets, and thefore has much stronger gravity, which pulls it into a spherical shape. Most asteroids and comets do not have strong enough gravity to do this.
What is the name of comets after they land on earth?
asteroids
How are comets asteroids and meteorites different?
Asteroids orbit the Sun between the orbits of the planet Mars and the planet Jupiter. Comets orbit the Sun on very elliptical orbits, originating from the Kuiper belt beyond the orbit of Neptune or the Oort cloud at the edges of the solar system. Comets are also usually (but not always) icy bodies that give of gas and dust (a tail) as they approach and get heated by the Sun. Meteorites are bodies that were Asteroids or Comets that have hit the planet Earth and landed on the surface.
Do comets or asteroids come close to earth?
Yes
All meteorites collected on Earth come from asteroids or comets?
Most meteorites come from asteroids, which are rocky bodies orbiting the sun. Some meteorites could also come from comets, which are icy bodies. Both asteroids and comets can collide with Earth, resulting in meteorites.
What sites will you see on the way from Earth to Uranus?
asteroids and comets!
Are comets asteroids meteors and dwarf planets on earth?
No. They are in space.
