Absolutely. You can see comets pretty much anywhere they pass between Venus and Mars, when they are opposite the sun from us. On the day side sunlight obliterates them from view. Hyukatake and Hale-Bopp were two prominent comets within the past twenty years. Beyond Jupiter they are much harder to see, both because there is much less outgassing and because of their relative size. Such comets are typically found only in fairly large telescopes.
What else can I help you with?
Can wee see comets only when its near earth?
Yes, because comets are so tiny and dim.
How many people did Halley's comet kill or injure?
Halley's comet didn't even come near Earth - just near enough to see it.Halley's comet didn't even come near Earth - just near enough to see it.Halley's comet didn't even come near Earth - just near enough to see it.Halley's comet didn't even come near Earth - just near enough to see it.
Why do you rarely see comets?
Comets spend the majority of their time in the far reaches of our solar system, where they are not easily visible from Earth. They only become visible when they enter the inner solar system and are illuminated by the Sun, hence their rare appearances. Additionally, many comets have long orbital periods, further contributing to their infrequent sightings.
Why do few comets pass near earth?
More do then we think, but many we aren't able to see. Ones like Haley Bop you could see with a good telescope.
What sites will you see on the way from Earth to Uranus?
asteroids and comets!
What are NEAs?
Most asteroids are in the Asteroid Belt between Mars and Jupiter. But a few do come close to the Earth; these are called Near Earth Asteroids. You can see a list of NEAs, and the dates that they will come closest to the Earth, at www.spaceweather.com. Asteroids and comets have collided with the Earth in the past, and someday one will collide with Earth in the future. Depending on the mass of the asteroid, the damage could be catastrophic. 65 million years ago, scientists now believe that an asteroid or comet hit the Earth, causing the extinction of the dinosaurs and most life on Earth.
Why are comets not seen both the time on going towards sun and away from it?
They are. We generally first see comets as they approach the Sun and become visible; if the comet survives the near approach to the Sun, we can continue to see them as they move away from the Sun. Depending on the comet's orbit as compared to the Earth's, we sometimes can't see the comet very well until after it is already moving away from the Sun. And of course, the first three comets discovered in 2010 were all discovered by satellites watching the Sun - as the comets fell INTO the Sun.
Can you ever see comets with your own eyes only?
Yes,when they are close enough to Earth and it is clear out.
Can you see comets all year long?
Yes, as long as an asteroid is within visible distance of earth.
Why isit importante to study smaller bodies such as comets or asteroids?
read the earth science book you will see why,
Are comets easy or hard to see?
Comets can vary in visibility depending on their size and proximity to Earth. Some comets can be easily seen with the naked eye when they pass close to our planet, while others require binoculars or telescopes to observe. So, it can be easy or hard to see a comet depending on these factors.
What do we see comets as?
Comets are seen as bright, icy bodies that orbit the Sun. When they get closer to the Sun, they release gas and dust in a glowing coma and often develop a tail that points away from the Sun due to solar wind.
