What are the characteristics of comets and meteoroids?
Comets are dusty pieces of ice and rock that partially vaporize when they pass near the sun. Meteoroids are pieces of rock, usually less than a few hundred meters in size, that travel through the solar system.
How do comets become electrical?
Comets become electrical as they pass nearby the sun. The electrically charged ions form a tail on the comet that helps to propel it away from the sun.
What comet passes by Pluto?
Pluto is at the inner edge of the Kuiper belt, which is similar to the asteroid belt but with comets instead of asteroids. Therefore, millions of comets pass by Pluto.
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 year did the first comet pass over the US?
Comets have been passing through the solar system since historical times. But no comet could have 'passed over' the US before 1776
Do any comets pass through earth?
your mom which is Austin jung hahahahahaha
Do comets gain slightly in mass with each orbit around the sun?
No. Comets LOSE mass with each pass by the Sun.

Do comets streak across the sky when they pass by earth?
yes they do streak
What would happen if earth were to pass through tail of comet?
Nothing particularly dangerous, there would be an impressive display or meteors.In fact the earth does pass through the remnants of comets regularly. The Perseid and Leonid meteor showers appear every year are just such events.
Is Halley's comet part of our solar system?
Yes. The solar system is everything that orbits the sun.
Does Uranus have comets?
No. Planets do not have comets. They are not related to planets. They are just objects flying through space that we can see in the sky.

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.
