Does Mercury's close proximity to the Sun create bright comets?
No. Mercury has nothing to do with comets. Comets are objects that orbit the sun independent of the planets.
When comets occasionally come close to the sun creating a bright?
When comets come close to the sun, they heat up and release gas and dust, creating a bright tail that is visible from Earth. This process is known as outgassing. The brightness of the comet depends on its size, composition, and proximity to the sun.
What comet has a tail?
All comets have tails when their proximity to the sun is such that the icy debris in the comet is warmed enough to melt and fall away from the comet.
Comets are invisible except when they are near what?
Comets become visible when they are closer to the sun and begin to heat up, causing them to develop a visible coma and tail. This closer proximity to the sun typically occurs in the inner solar system, where they become brighter and more conspicuous.
How are comets and the sun related?
comets orbit the sun
Are comets harder to see when they approach the sun?
Comets can be harder to see when they approach the Sun due to the increased brightness from sunlight scattering off dust and gas in the comet's coma and tail, as well as the proximity to the Sun's glare. However, some comets can become more visible as they get closer to the Sun and develop longer tails that reflect more sunlight.
What is the proximity of earth to the sun?
it is zero that is the proximity of the sun to earth
Do comets orbit asteroids?
No. Comets orbit the sun.
Do comets and meteors both orbit the sun?
no only comets.
What did Isaac Newton discover about comets?
that comets circle the sun
Are comets moons?
No. Comets are not moons as they orbit the sun, not planets.
Do five or several comets circle the Sun a year?
actually several comets circle the sun a year!
