Hayley's comet is not always the same distance from the sun. This is because it has an elliptical orbit. When the comet is closest to the sun the ice begins to burn up forming the tail.
can we find a piture of hayleys comet
Hayley's Comet does not orbit the Earth. It has a long elliptical orbit around the Sun, and gets as far out as the orbits of Neptune and Pluto (35.1 AU) , only to return to the inner solar system every 75-76 years. (Its orbit is perturbed by some planets.) It last reached perihelion (closest to the Sun) in 1986, and it will not return until 2061.
The comet enters the sun's orbit with a constant velocity.
Named after Edmund Halley, who recognized that the three different comets seen was actually the same comet returning every 75 to 76 years.
Halley's Comet is currently a little beyond the orbit of Neptune.
The nucleus is the bulk of the comet, this is present all the time until it eventually breaks up after many orbits. close to the sun, it gives of two tails as the sun heats the comets surface. Far from the sun it would just look like a rock that also contains a high proportion of ice.
The population of Hayleys is 31,000.
HayleysComet will come about 2061!!!!!!!!!!!! It last came in 1986.
Near the sun: A cometary nucleus has a "corona" (a vapor outgassing of it's nucleus, up to a million times wider than the comet itself - this is what we see as the "head" of the comet), and one or several "tails". The "tail" we usually see is the vapor trail, but sometimes a secondary gas trail is also visible. Far from the sun, it is just the nucleus. Typically 3 to 10 kilometers wide, oddly shaped, like a potato or a peanut and, somewhat surprisingly , very dark in color, like soot.
Hayleys was created on 1878-01-10.
No. The tail of the comet points away from the sun.
