What does a comet do in space?
Comets in space have an orbit path.
Do comets revolve around the earth?
No. Some comets periodically pass by the Earth, such as Halley's comet, but the Sun primarily creates the path they follow. Saturn's moon, Phoebe, may have originated as a comet.
What shape does a comet orbit in?
a comet orbits in a donut shaped path. some comets even go out of our solar system and back into it, past our sun.
What shape does a comet's orbit?
a comet orbits in a donut shaped path. some comets even go out of our solar system and back into it, past our sun.
Who was the first to calculate a comets elliptical path and return date?
The first person to calculate a comet's elliptical path and predict its return date was Edmond Halley, who did so for the comet now known as Halley's Comet. He predicted its return after observing it in 1682, and it returned as predicted in 1758.
What are the other examples of comet?
Some other examples of comets include Comet Halley, Comet Hale-Bopp, and Comet Hyakutake. These comets are known for their brightness, size, and visibility from Earth.
Do comets have very low eccentricities?
No, comets typically have high eccentricities in their orbits. This means that their paths around the Sun are elongated and not perfectly circular. The eccentricity of a comet's orbit can vary widely depending on its specific trajectory and interactions with other celestial bodies.
Are there any comets other than Halleys comet?
Yes, there are many comets other than Halley's comet. Comets are icy bodies that orbit the Sun and often have elongated orbits that bring them close to the Sun. Some well-known comets include Hale-Bopp, Comet NEOWISE, and Comet Lovejoy.
Which is smaller a planet or a comet?
Comets.
When were comets found?
Comets have been seen and studied by people for thousands of years. Edmond Halley predicted a comet to return in 1705 which is why we call it Halley's Comet or Comet Halley.
What shape is a comets path?
The shape of a comet's path is an oval. If u are an eighth grader, your science teacher will recommend u to use the word "ellipse" instead of oval ~ Thank You. or "elliptical"
What is a ball of ice dust and gasses that travels through space and orbits the sun?
a comet/meteorite
