Solid body that does not collide with a planet?
Mohans or comets
Do comets orbit mars and Jupiter?
No. Comets orbit the sun. Many asteroids orbit the sun in between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
Is there a shield around Jupiter that protects it from meteors and comets?
Any meteor or comet will burn up in Jupiter's incredibly thick atmosphere.
Why comets halley is an bad omen?
It isn't. Since the times of ancient Greece comets have been believed to be omens of catastrophes. There is no evidence to substantiate such claims. Comets can cause destruction when they collide with Earth. Halley's comet's orbit does not intersect Earth's, so there is no risk of collision.
When have comets been spotted over the last 100 years?
Typically, several comets are spotted every year.

How often do comets crash into Jupiter?
Shoemaker-Levy9 crashed in to Jupiter in 1994.
Are there comets between Jupiter and Neptune?
yes
What Jupiter fact start with a c?
comets have slammed into jupiter...one severely did in 2009
How are metoroids formed?
Metoroids are formed when astoroids collide or comets break up.
Have Comets actually been observed striking a planet in your Solar system?
Yes. In addition to several comets crashing into the Sun so far this year, the 1994 impacts of the Shoemaker-Levy 9 comet fragments into Jupiter were quite spectacular.
Are comets a problem on Jupiter?
no, because the planet is a super thick atmosphere
Do five or several comets circle the Sun a year?
actually several comets circle the sun a year!
Why are four craters formed on the moon weekly?
Craters are formed when asteroids and comets collide with the lunar surface.
How does Jupiter protect the inner planets?
the gravity from Jupiter is so strong that it pulls most of the comets and asteroids to it instead of the inner planets
