How many comets are there on planet Neptune?
There are no comets on Neptune because Neptune is a planet and comets are, well, comets. They have nothing to do with each other.
Are comets part of the of the asteroid belt?
No. Comets come from beyond the asteroid belt, mostly from a region called the Kuiper Belt, beyond the orbit of Neptune.
Are there comets between Jupiter and Neptune?
yes
Comets spend most of their time?
Beyond the orbit of Neptune
Where do you find comets?
Comets are typically found in the outer regions of the solar system, beyond the orbit of Neptune. They can be observed from Earth when they come closer to the sun and develop a visible tail due to the solar wind. Astronomers track comets using telescopes and space missions.
How are comets different?
-- Despite where they come from, some comets have different mass qualities. While some are long-term comets, some are short-term. Short-term period comets originate in the Kuiper belt or it's "shattered disc", which is around the orbit of Neptune. Long-term period comets originate in Oort cloud, which is a cloud of icy bodies in space.
What is the source of the solar system's comets?
Comets in the solar system originate from two main sources: the Kuiper Belt beyond Neptune and the Oort Cloud much further out. These icy bodies are remnants from the early solar system and are occasionally pulled in by gravitational forces into orbits that bring them closer to the Sun, resulting in their characteristic tails.
What is a vast disk of icy comets near Neptune's orbit called?
The vast disk of icy comets near Neptune's orbit is called the Kuiper Belt. It is a region of the outer Solar System that contains numerous small icy bodies and serves as a source of short-period comets.
Short period comets that originate beyond the orbit of Neptune but are generally moving level with the orbits of the other planets are in the what?
Short period comets that originate beyond the orbit of Neptune but are generally moving level with the orbits of the other planets are in the Kuiper Belt. The Kuiper Belt is a region of the outer solar system that contains icy bodies, including comets, that orbit the Sun beyond Neptune.
Are comets stars that contain ice and dust?
Comets are relatively small chunks of rock and ice that orbit the sun, sometimes they come close but usually are far out beyond the orbit of Neptune. Stars are different, they are like our sun. Much bigger and hotter but much further away.
Where do comets comets from?
They come from the outer reaches of space.
How were comets found?
Comets come from the Oort cloud and the Kupier Belt
