What is the shape of a comet?

Answer 1

While we don't normally think of the Sun itself having an orbit, of course it DOES. Nothing is standing still; the force of gravity assures that. if the Sun and our solar system weren't moving, then the gravitational attraction between the Sun and the rest of the Milky Way galaxy would pull our solar system toward the center of the galaxy, and this isn't happening.

The Sun, with our solar system in tow, orbits the center of the Milky Way galaxy, with each orbit taking about 200 million years. We figure that the Earth and our solar system are about 5 billion years old, so it has made about 25 orbits around the galactic center. So in Galactic Years, our Sun is only 25; it's still young! The SHAPE of the orbit is almost certainly an ellipse.

Answer 2

Did you mean asteroid or meteorite? Either way both do not have definite shapes or sizes it varies case by case, but meteorites are smaller because those are asteroids that have survived the earths atmosphere and have been found. Asteroids often look like lumpy potatoes, but that is not definite.

Answer 3

Mars is an oblate spheoid. Like the Earth, it is an approximate sphere, but flattened at the poles like an orange.

Answer 4

so simple answer? the shape of comet is round it have tail on it when it move back it changes it tail direction so simple answer????

Answer 5

Answer 6

Answer 7

A rocky desert.

Answer 8
