If a comet is close to the sun how fast does it travel?
If any comet comes CLOSER to the Sun than Earth's distance from the Sun, its speed will be LARGER than that of Earth, which is 30 km/second.The exact speed will depend on how close the comet gets to Earth, and - to a lesser extent - on the exact shape of its orbit. If you know the orbital characteristics, you can get the speed using Kepler's laws. For a start, compare the orbit to Earth's orbit, using Kepler's Third Law.
