Why was the Hale-Bopp comet special?
The Hale-Bopp comet is relatively rare - it only passes close to the Earth once every 76 years. In the last pass, there were several groups that felt there were supernatural or mystical properties of the comet. Some of these groups were covered by the media, although I don't believe anything horrible happened.
Does Halley's comet pass by the earth every year in its orbit through our solar system?
Haley's Comet is visible from Earth every 75 to 76 years. The Comet's orbit takes 75 to 76 years to complete, so it only passes by the earth once every 75-76 years.
Do all scientist believe that there was once life on marz?
no or they would of told us
How often does sally's comet come by earth?
Once every so rerun of hey Arnold - its made up
Does a comet have satellites?
Comets are accompanied by dust to varying degrees. If a comet had the same density as the earth, this stuff would orbit around the core once every 90 minutes for the closest particles.
Is halleys comet is a periodic comet?
Halley's Comet is a Short Period Comet. It is actually the brightest known short period comet, one of the main reasons for it's popularity. It is visible from Earth once every 75–76 years. The last being in 1986 and the next being in 2061.
What is solar system about?
The solar system is about where things such as since, you could say live. There are comets there are planets and all sort of things....... for example a comet could be called a dirty snowball. No there are not such things as aliens but scientist believe than a long time ago micro animals once lived on mars!!!
How likely is it for a comet to hit Earth in this lifetime?
Quite low. Debris shed from comets as they orbit the Sun strike the Earth thousands of times per year, but most of the debris, in the form of periodic meteor showers, is pretty tiny; an average sized particle would be the size of a grain of rice or smaller. But for the Earth to be struck by the nucleus of the comet itself? We're not certain that an actual comet has EVER struck the Earth, although we can be relatively confident that objects about the size of a comet has hit the Earth once every few thousand years or so. The probability of a comet striking the Earth within the next 50 years is quite low; one or two percent, but no higher.
Was Saturn once said to be a Comet?
No
Why can you only see Halley's comet once a year?
You cannot see Halley's Comet once a year. It was last seen in 1986 and won't be seen again until 2061. There is typically a 75 to 76 year gap between when it is seen from Earth. During this time it is orbiting the Solar System and so at this point it is too far away to be seen from Earth. When it comes closer again, it will be seen from Earth.
What is the most reoccurring comet?
Probably Encke's Comet a periodic comet that completes an orbit of the Sun once every three years
How do you expect a meteor shower?
Meteor "showers" happen when the Earth passes through the orbit of a comet, or where a comet once was. Most of the meteors are dust-sized, and when a comet approaches the Sun, the Sun's heat and light melt some of its ice and blow the dust and vapor into the "tail" of the comet.But the dust continues along in the same orbit as the comet; just a little slower.The ancient comet's orbit passes near the Earth at one spot along the Earth's orbit, and the Earth goes through pretty much the same path each year. So meteor "showers" happen on the same day each year.
