What else can I help you with?
do comets go near Pluto?
yes, comets travel around the solar system :l
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).
What shape does a comet orbit in?
a comet orbits in a donut shaped path. some comets even go out of our solar system and back into it, past our sun.
What shape does a comet's orbit?
a comet orbits in a donut shaped path. some comets even go out of our solar system and back into it, past our sun.
Would there be a solar system if there were no planets?
Solar, which is derived from the Latin word Sol, meaning Sun and system which includes everything that orbits the Sun from Planets to asteriods, comets, moons and dust; go together to make Solar System. If you take away the planets you still have all the other material orbiting the sun, so it would still be a Solar System.
Do all solar system objects go around the Sun?
Yes, all solar system objects, including planets, moons, asteroids, and comets, orbit around the Sun due to its gravitational pull. The Sun is at the center of the solar system, and all objects within it are bound to orbit around it in a specific path.
How are comets alike to planets?
Asteroids are the celestial bodies found in between the spaces of the planets of the solar system. But comets are mysterious bodies that go far away from the known solar system and come back once very rarely.
Does a comet have to have two sun's to go around for it to orbit?
Considering that comets are pretty common objects in the solar system and that we have one sun only, it's obvious that a comet needs just one sun, or star, to go around.
Why isn't Jupiter a solar system?
It's not a solar system because u can go to the moon of solar stystem
Does comets go the earth?
earth the comets to go
How does a comet conect to the universe?
Like all visible matter, comets are 'just' part of the universe and do not directly 'connet' to it. Their most direct 'connection' is to their star. All comets orbit a star. But more specifically the ones we know about are a part of our solar system - that is, their orbits are controlled by their relationship with our Sun. Some of them never go past our solar system's 'outer limits' - what is known as the heliopause - others do, and travel in what is generally considered as interstellar space, but they are still gravitationally tied to the Sun. The greatest distance that Pluto goes from the Sun is less than 50 astronomical units (1 AU = the distance of the Earth from the Sun). Comet Hale-Bopp is believed to go as far as 370.8 AU - a truly staggering 55,000,000,000 kilometres from the Sun. It takes it 2533 years to complete 1 orbit, over 10 times the time it takes Pluto to complete an orbit.
Where are comets in the solar system?
From my understanding, comets like to hang out way way past Pluto. Kind of like the asteroid belt. Some comets have 100 - 10,000 year orbit around our sun. But as for your question that's where the majority of the comets are.The above answer is right, partly. Comets are found just outside of the orbit of Pluto, in the Kuiper Belt. Another place is where beyond the Kuiper Belt though is the Oort Cloud. Hundreds upon thousands of comets are found in the Oort Cloud, which surrounds the Sun and all of the planets.Comets originate in the Kuiper Belt.
