How are comets and the sun related?
comets orbit the sun
Why does a comets path curve around a large object like the sun?
gravity pulls it towards the large object
How do comets come toward earth?
Comets come toward earth during their orbits. They are drawn toward the sun by gravity and sometimes cross earth's orbital path in the process.
Do comets orbit Jupiter?
Comets orbit the Sun.
Do comets revolve around the earth?
No. Some comets periodically pass by the Earth, such as Halley's comet, but the Sun primarily creates the path they follow. Saturn's moon, Phoebe, may have originated as a comet.
What effect the sun has on comets?
The sun's gravity holds comets in their orbits.The sun's radiation heats comets causing vaporization of their ices.The sun's solar wind blows vaporized ice and dust particles away from the comets forming the tail.The sun's visible light reflects from the comet and its tail, making them visible.The sun's magnetic field deflects ions in the tail, causing separation into two tails - the dust tail and the ion tail.If a comet comes too close to the sun, the comet will hit the sun and be destroyed.
Why have comets happened?
Comets are solid pieces of rock that are in long elliptical orbit around the sun. They occur because pieces of other space objects (asteroids, moons, planets, etc.) were knocked off into this path, and the path just happens to come close to the Earth.
Do comets orbit asteroids?
No. Comets orbit the sun.
Does Mercury's close proximity to the Sun create bright comets?
No. Mercury has nothing to do with comets. Comets are objects that orbit the sun independent of the planets.
Do comets and meteors both orbit the sun?
no only comets.
What did Isaac Newton discover about comets?
that comets circle the sun
Are comets moons?
No. Comets are not moons as they orbit the sun, not planets.
