How would you describe the comet?
Comets are icy bodies in space that release gas and dust. They are often compared to dirty snowballs, though recent research has led some scientists to call them dirty snowballs. Comets contain dust, ice, carbon dioxide, ammonia, methane and more.
What body forms a tail as it approaches the sun?
Comets are celestial objects that have tails and move around the sun. When a comet is moving toward the sun, its tail points toward the sun.
What is another process that moving glaciers picks up debris and moves it along to other places?
glacier landforms
Smaller pieces of rock from old broken-up comets become?
Small pieces of rock from old broken up comets become asteroids. Asteroids are large moving masses that can break up into smaller pieces. They break up and form meteorites.
What tailed heavenly bodies are moving around the sun?
Comets
What type of energy do rapidly moving comets have more of than slowly moving ones?
Kinetic Energy
Are eyes in the sky real?

Ridges of rock debris formed by a moving glacier?
moraines
What moraines are ridges of rock debris formed in front of a moving glacier.?
Ridges of rock debris that form in front of a glacier are called terminal moraines at the point that the glacier stops moving ahead.

Area of the solar system which comets are located?
Most of them are moving slowly out beyond the orbit of Neptune, in the kuiper belt. Longer term comets are thought to also be as far out as the Oort cloud.
These moraines are ridges of rock debris formed along the sides of a moving glacier?
Terminal moraines or terminal
What are pieces of rock moving through space?
-- meteoroids -- asteroids -- comets -- satellites -- planets (rocky ones)
What do you mean when you make a destinction of planets orbiting and the comets floating?
There is none. Both comets and planets are in free-fall, moving in accordance with their inertia and the gravitational forces between the Sun and the planet or asteroid.
