What else can I help you with?
Why comet travels more quickly on its orbit when it is closer the sun?
the comet moves fastest near the sun because the gravitational movement pulls it quickly and gets rid of the rock and ice on the tail
How is a comet different from a asteroid?
An asteroid is hunks of rock or metal a comet is ice and as it gets closer to the sun it turns to water vapor as it gets further it turns back to ice.
Can a comet get smaller while orbiting the sun?
Yes it can, because you know the comet is made of ice ,right? Well, the sun is very hot and it can melt the comet if it orbit closer and closer. Also when it melts, it will get smaller. Thank you for asking that question. :)
What is an ice comet?
An Ice Comet is like a comet, just that it is made of ice.
What is a briefly visible comet?
Comets are frozen collections of ice,dust and gases which moves around the Sun.
What is the fuzzy outer layer of a comet called?
The Coma is the fuzzy outer layer of a comet.
Aball of snow and dust whittch moves around the sun?
The object you are describing is likely a comet. Comets are composed of ice, dust, and rocky material, and they orbit the sun in elongated paths. When a comet gets closer to the sun, the heat causes it to develop a glowing coma and sometimes a tail of gas and dust.
What are the gasses on a comet?
Comets are composed of a mixture of ice, dust, and gases. The main gases found on a comet are water vapor, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and methane. These gases are released as the comet gets closer to the Sun and heats up, causing the ice to sublimate.
Is comet ice H2O?
Comet ice is a mix of water ice (H2O) and dry ice (CO2).
What is a lump of dusty ice?
A lump of dusty ice typically refers to a comet. Comets are made up of rock, dust, water ice, and frozen gases. When a comet gets closer to the sun, the heat causes the ice to vaporize, releasing gas and dust particles that form the characteristic tail seen from Earth.
What is a tailed heavenly body called?
A comet is a tailed heavenly body composed of dust, rock, and ice that orbits the sun in an elongated path. When a comet gets closer to the sun, the heat causes some of its ice to vaporize, creating a glowing tail that points away from the sun due to solar wind.
What is a small mass of dust and ice that orbits the sun in a ovall shaped payj?
That is a comet, made of rock, dust, and ice, that follows an elliptical orbit around the sun. As it gets closer to the sun, the heat causes the ice to turn into gas and create a bright tail that can be seen from Earth.
