the gravity from the sun pulls them along, sometimes causing them to hit planets or other types of debris.
What else can I help you with?
How a comet moves in the sky.?
It moves because of the gravitational pull of the sun.
How can differentiate a meteor from a comet when viewed from Earth?
comet moves slowly and appears in the sky for a longer time. meteor moves swifty and seems to fall on the ground.
What is a body that moves through space starting with c called?
comet
When does a comet move the slowest?
A comet moves slowest when it is farthest from the sun in its orbit, known as aphelion. At this point, the gravitational pull of the sun is weaker, causing the comet to slow down.
How does a comet shine as it moves closer towards the sun?
the Sun's heat and radiation produce a wind called the Solar Wind, as a comet gets close to the Sun it begins to melt. ... This is when a comet begins to shine.
How can you differentiate a meteor from comet when viewed from earth?
A comet has a long tail (hence the name comet meaning long-haired star) while a meteor is only a beam of light.
What galaxies are near Halley's comet?
Halley's comet is part of the Milky Way. Although it moves very far out from our solar system, it never leaves the Milky Way.
What is the energy source to move a comet?
Actually a comet dosen't have energy to move. The reason it moves is because it orbits around the sun like the planets do. The gravity from the sun keeps it orbit.
What is a briefly visible comet?
Comets are frozen collections of ice,dust and gases which moves around the Sun.
When does a comet became brighter?
A comet becomes brighter as it approaches the sun. It's at that time that the heat from the sun begins to boil the ice present in the comet, and its tail becomes visible as it moves, leaving a trail behind it that scatters light, making it appear brighter.
Why is a comets tail is in front of the comet?
A comet's tail is always pointed away from the Sun due to the solar wind. As the comet moves closer to the Sun, solar radiation and solar wind push the dust and gas away from the comet, creating the tail that appears to extend ahead of the comet in its orbit.
A comet moves on an elliptical orbit around the Sun. Where is the comets velocity largest?
A comet's velocity is largest when it is closest to the Sun, a point known as perihelion. According to Kepler's laws of planetary motion, the comet accelerates as it approaches the Sun due to the gravitational pull, resulting in its highest speed at this closest point in its orbit. As it moves away from the Sun towards aphelion, its velocity decreases.
