No. Comets are not flammable and there is no oxygen in space to support combustion. When a comet gets close enough to the sun the ice it is made of starts to vaporize due to the heat, creating a cloud of gas and dust.
comets can do this (depending on there make up) however this is rare as a comet is actually a satelite, it is stuck in a orbit. an asteroid burning up in the atmosphere is more likely, thiese rocks are not in orbit.
Yes, they must burn out sometime. (I think, but if they do, it takes a VERY long time!)
It is not likely that Halley's Comet will burn out soon. It has a large core and does not usually pass close enough to the sun to lose its integrity.
no they don't live forever thats why they form different everytime
Comets do orbit the sun, yes, but their orbits are elliptical rather than circular.
no
No. Comets are not moons as they orbit the sun, not planets.
Comets go around the Sun in a highly elliptical orbit.
The revole around the sun
Closest because the comets get brighter as it gets closer to the sun. Comets don't produce light for they are made of ice dust and rock
A comets tail is pushed because of the solar wind.
actually several comets circle the sun a year!
that comets circle the sun
comets orbit the sun
Comets orbit the Sun.
The orbit is not a perfect circle. Applies to all planets/asteroids/comets.
At a given distance from the Sun, only at a very specific spead will it go in an exact circle. And that perfect circle will soon be disturbed by gravitation from other planets, comets, etc.
No. Comets orbit the sun.
o no
No. Mercury has nothing to do with comets. Comets are objects that orbit the sun independent of the planets.
no only comets.
