What do comets orbit other then the sun?
The comets in our Solar System orbit our Sun. Presumably, a comet could be trapped by a planet, so that it orbits that planet; and presumably, there are also comets around other stars.
Does planet mercury have comets?
comets crash into all planets!Planets don't have comets. Planets have moons. Comets orbit the sun
Do comets orbit asteroids?
No. Comets orbit the sun.
How are comets asteroids and meteorites different?
Asteroids orbit the Sun between the orbits of the planet Mars and the planet Jupiter. Comets orbit the Sun on very elliptical orbits, originating from the Kuiper belt beyond the orbit of Neptune or the Oort cloud at the edges of the solar system. Comets are also usually (but not always) icy bodies that give of gas and dust (a tail) as they approach and get heated by the Sun. Meteorites are bodies that were Asteroids or Comets that have hit the planet Earth and landed on the surface.
How many comets does Mars have?
There are no comets that orbit the planet Mars. Comets, some, orbit the sun. Mars on the other hand does have two moons, Phobos and Deimos.
Which celestial bodies orbit the Sun?
the asteroid belt, the kuiper belt, and the oort cloud.
Comets are considered to belong to the solar system if they?
They have to orbit the sun or orbit a planet. This means they are if they are in the Galaxy.
Do commets revolve around planets?
No. Comets only orbit the Sun or fly through interstellar space. Comets move too fast to be captured by a planet. Even if they did, they do not have enough mass to sustain an orbit around a planet. It would eventually get sucked to the surface by the plant's gravity.
What has a larger orbit comets or planets?
Comets.
Point of a planets or comets orbit which is most distant from the sun?
A planet or comet's orbit that is farthest from the sun is called the aphelion. This is the point where they are at their greatest distance from the sun in their elliptical orbit.
Do comets orbit Jupiter?
Yes, some comets have been observed to orbit Jupiter. These comets can either be captured by Jupiter's gravity and become temporary moons, or have their orbits altered by Jupiter's gravitational pull.
What do commets orbit?
Comets orbit stars
