What is the shape of a comet's orbit around the sun?
oval
What do comet orbit?
The Sun
Planet's orbit are nearly circular What shape is a comet's?
A comet's orbit can vary in shape from elliptical to highly elongated, sometimes resembling a long, narrow ellipse. This is because comets often have highly eccentric orbits that bring them close to the sun and then far out into the solar system.
What is path of a comet around the sun CALLED?
An orbit
What is the path of comet around the sun called?
It is called an orbit. A comet has an eccentric or parabolic orbit.
What path around the Sun does the comet follow?
An orbit
What forces keep the comet in orbit around the sun?
The comet is kept in orbit around the sun by the gravitational pull between the comet and the sun. This gravitational force acts as a centripetal force, keeping the comet moving in its elliptical orbit.
How does comet orbits and comets orbit?
in an elliptical (oval) orbit around the sun, with its tail pointing in the oposite direction of the sun.
What is the path of a comet around the sun?
The path of a comet around the sun would depend on its mass, speed, and trajectory. It a comet enters the sun's gravitational field at the correct trajectory and speed, it would fall into a roughly circular orbit.
What is the name of the comet that orbits the sun in your solar system?
Any comet visible from earth is in orbit around the sun. If the orbit is closed (elliptical), the comet will return after some period of time. If the orbit is open (parabolic or hyperbolic), the comet will escape the solar system and never return to the neighborhood.
How often oes a comet oribt around the sun?
Almost 200 years for one orbit around the sun.
Where can an ellipse be found in everyday life?
The orbit of the earth, around the sun is elliptical. And, I expect that you are living on the earth and orbiting the sun every day.
