What do you think would happen if earth passed through the tail of a comet?
If Earth were to pass through the tail of a comet, we would likely experience a spectacular display of meteor showers as the dust and debris in the tail enter our atmosphere and burn up. The effects would depend on the density of the tail; a denser tail could potentially lead to more significant meteor activity. However, the likelihood of catastrophic events is low, as comet tails are generally dispersed and not solid. Overall, the event would be a fascinating astronomical occurrence rather than a serious threat.
How much space would a comet wipe out if it hit Earth?
Depends on how big the Comet is.
What object would hit earth?
It is quite common for small meteors to hit the Earth. Larger impacts by an asteroid or comet are also possible but happen much less often.
What is a speeding ice ball from space called?
A speeding ice ball from space is called a meteoroid or a comet. When it enters Earth's atmosphere and creates a bright streak of light, it is known as a meteor or a shooting star. If it survives the journey through the atmosphere and lands on Earth, it is called a meteorite.
How would earth change is an asteroid or comet would impact earth?

What would be the effect of this particular comet hitting earth?
If a comet hits the ground than the gravity will be greater or lesser?
Different if earth had an orbit like that of a comet?
our earth would be then fried, becasue the orbit of a comet orbits around the sun which cause the comet to be insanely high. which in one case would fry our earth if our orbit was near the sun
How big of an explosion if comet lulin had hit earth?
it depends on the size of the comet if it was small it would do about 5o/ out of a 1000 on earth if it was a very big one it would do about 989/ out of a 1000 so it depends on size
What falls to the earth as dust a Meteoroid Asteroid or Comet?
Meteoroids definitely fall to Earth as dust or small stones. To the best of our knowledge, no asteroid or comet has fallen to Earth within recorded history. But as large as they are, it's likely that a lot more than dust would survive a trip through the atmosphere by either of them.
How long will it take if you traveled at the speed of light to get from earth to a comet?
Assuming the comet is far away in the outer solar system, it would take light approximately 8 minutes to reach Earth from the Sun, and then more time to reach the comet depending on its distance. Traveling at the speed of light, it would take a few minutes to several hours or more to get from Earth to a comet, depending on its specific location in space.
Is comet fall followed by an earthquake?
Would the impact of a comet on the Earth cause earthquakes? Possibly; it would depend on where the comet hit. But depending on the size of the comet that struck the Earth, the results might vary from "merely" very terrible indeed to absolutely catastrophic; The impact, the fallout, the tsunami (if a water strike) and/or the "nuclear winter" darkening of the skies with dust and debris would dwarf most conceivable earthquakes. Let me put it this way; if a large comet strikes the Earth, the last thing people will be worrying about would be an earthquake.
Can a comet knock the earth out of the solar system?
No. The head of a comet is much, much smaller than Earth (and made of considerably less dense materials as well); a comet knocking Earth out of the solar system would be like a mosquito knocking your car off the highway.
