What body has the fastest orbital speed as it orbits the sun asteroid or comet?
Comet. Comets typically have faster orbital speeds than asteroids as they move along highly elliptical orbits that bring them close to the sun, increasing their speed. This is due to the gravitational pull of the sun that speeds up comets as they approach perihelion, their closest point to the sun.
Do comets orbit the sun in irregular paths?
Comets go around the Sun in a highly elliptical orbit.
Do comets orbit mars and Jupiter?
No. Comets orbit the sun. Many asteroids orbit the sun in between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
How do comets move?
Comets move in elliptical orbits around the Sun due to the gravitational pull of the Sun. They can appear to move slowly across the sky as they approach the Sun, and then speed up as they swing around it. The long tails of comets point away from the Sun due to the solar wind pushing their dust and gas particles.
What gets smaller every time it orbits the sun?
Comets get smaller.

How do the orbits of comets differ from the orbits of most asteroids?
Comets are balls of ice and dust in orbit around the Sun. The orbits of comets are different from those of planets - they are elliptical. A comet's orbit takes it very close to the Sun and then far away again.
What do comets travel in?
elongated elliptical orbits around the sun

Are comets and asteroids part of our solar system?
Yes, everything that orbits our sun, including everything that orbits everything that orbits our sun, is part of the solar system.
What gets smaller every time it orbits the sun?
Comets get smaller.
Do comets orbit the sun in elliptical orbits?
yes yes Yes, comets and asteroids usually follow elliptical orbit.
What are the comets that go through the solar system?
All visible comets go through the solar system. Those that return periodically have elliptical orbits with the sun as one of the foci. Those that do not usually have hyperbolic orbits with the sun as a focus.
What do comets orbit other then the sun?
The comets in our Solar System orbit our Sun. Presumably, a comet could be trapped by a planet, so that it orbits that planet; and presumably, there are also comets around other stars.
Most meteor showers are associated with the orbits of?
Most meteor showers are associated with the orbits of comets. When Earth passes through the debris left behind by a comet as it orbits the sun, the particles collide with Earth's atmosphere, creating the streaks of light known as meteors.
