Where do comets and asteroids go?
Most "asteroids" are in orbit around the Sun, unless disturbed by gravity or collisions. Comets may orbit the Sun regularly, or be drawn in from the outer solar system and pass by the Sun on their way back out (hyperbolic comets).
Are the asteroids in the Asteroid Belt always moving?
Yes, asteroids in the Asteroid Belt are constantly moving due to the gravitational interactions among them and the influence of the Sun's gravity. Their orbits may change over time due to the gravitational pulls of nearby planets or other asteroids.
Is there gravity on the asteroid belt?
Yes, there is gravity in the asteroid belt, but it is much weaker than Earth's gravity due to the belt's low mass and spread-out distribution of asteroids. This weaker gravity allows the asteroids to remain in their orbits without being pulled together into a single body.
Do asteroids move slower than stars?
Most asteroids orbit around stars and move faster than them.
Does a comets speed change as it orbits the sun?
Yes. Comets have highly elliptical orbits. They move fastest when they are nearest the sun and slowest when they are farthest away.
Why does gravity have no effect on comets asteroids and meteors to make them round or sphereical?
because meteor and etc. move across the sky so that gravity can't get to them.
Does the suns gravity cause asteroids to move?
The sun's gravity doesn't necessarily cause the asteroids to move, however it does cause the asteroids to move the way that they do move. For example, let's take away the sun. Any asteroids around the sun would continue to move at the same rate that is was moving prior to the sun being taken away. However, instead of following an elliptical orbit around the sun, the asteroid would move in a straight line instead. So the asteroids can still move without the sun. However, it is the sun that makes the asteroids orbit around the sun. The orbit's tendency to want to move away in a straight line counteracts the gravity created by the sun. The results of these two forces is what causes the asteroids elliptical orbit.

Gravity also makes water move. What makes water move?
Air pressure or water pressure makes water move.

Yes, asteroids in the Asteroid Belt are constantly moving due to the gravitational interactions among them and the influence of the Sun's gravity. Their orbits may change over time due to the gravitational pulls of nearby planets or other asteroids.
Do comets orbit Jupiter?
Yes, some comets have been observed to orbit Jupiter. These comets can either be captured by Jupiter's gravity and become temporary moons, or have their orbits altered by Jupiter's gravitational pull.
What is what makes a glacier move down a mountain?

What is a comets place in space?
Comets move
How does the solar system operate?
The solar system operates through the force of gravity, which keeps the Sun and all the celestial bodies in orbit around it. The planets, moons, asteroids, and comets all move in predictable paths due to this gravitational force. The Sun's energy also influences the behavior and characteristics of these objects within the solar system.
What pull of gravity makes surface material move?
The pull of gravity makes surface material move in the form of erosion, mass wasting, or landslides. Gravity acts as a constant force that causes materials to be pulled downward or moved along sloped surfaces.
What makes it move faster as it approaches the ground?
force of gravity
