Yes! All the time. Although comets tend to have very elongated orbits which bring them close to the sun which slingshots them far out into space and back again. NASA's Jet Propulsion laboratory has a great site for tracking objects in our solar system. solarsystem.nasa.gov/eyes/
What else can I help you with?
Do any comets pass through earth?
your mom which is Austin jung hahahahahaha
Will the next comet cause the coasts to flood within 100 miles inland?
There are comets around all the time. In order to have this much of a cataclysmic effect, it would need to pass very close to the earth, if not hit it entirely. At the moment, we do not know of any comets on this trajectory.
Is it possible comets may have any influence in the earths' weather or cycles even the orbit variances?
Comets have a very low mass compared to Earth, so any affect they will have on Earth is from impacts which will affect the global weather.
What planets do you past to get to the moon?
You don't pass any. There' nothing in space between Earth and moon except maybe a few meteoroids. The planet that is able to come closest to Earth is Venus. When Venus is as close to Earth as it can ever get, it's more than 100 times farther away than the moon ever is.
Would earth have any oceans if it weren't for impacts from comets from the outer solar system?
Yes
Why does Mars have water?
Nobody truly knows. It is likely that - as is the case for the Earth - any water was 'delivered' there by comets.
Why sould you not be afraid of comet?
You shouldn't be afraid of comets because they are generally harmless and pose minimal risk to Earth. While they can be fascinating astronomical events, the vast majority pass safely at great distances from our planet. Additionally, scientists continuously monitor these celestial bodies, ensuring that any potentially hazardous comets are detected well in advance. Embracing the beauty and mystery of comets can inspire curiosity rather than fear.
Are any comet strikes a source of the ocean water?
Although comets contain water in the form of ice, scientists do not consider them a significant source of Earth's ocean water. Instead, the majority of Earth's water is thought to have originated from within the planet during its formation and through volcanic outgassing over time. Comets may have played a role in enriching Earth's water with isotopic compositions different from those found in the planet's interior.
Why are there so many meteorites near earth?
There are hardly any comets, meteorites or asteroids near earth. There are only a few that are millions of kilometers from earth. There are a few that pass earth a bit closer because of the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
Are there currently any visible comets in your solar system?
There are no visible comets at this time.
Does the sun have any comets?
NO
What comet will pass close to the earth in 2010?
This question was posted on September 3, 2011, so the year 2010 is already in the history books. I don't recall any especially impressive comets in 2010. But basically, there are several new, never-before seen comets (or long-period comets last seen during the reign of the Pharaohs, like Hale-Bopp) for which we have no orbital knowledge, that appear each year. Once the comet has been seen three times, we can calculate an orbit, and determine, more or less, where it will be at any future date. But until then, it's a mystery.
