Any object that comes from a large distance will acquire speed as it approaches the Sun, due to Earth's attraction. The speed from this mechanism alone will be about 42 kilometers per second, for an object at 1 AU from the Sun.

Do comets turn into fire?
well, comets, because of the speed they have, most of them turn into fire. but there are some cases in wich they do´nt.
Does a comets speed change as it orbits the sun?
Yes. Comets have highly elliptical orbits. They move fastest when they are nearest the sun and slowest when they are farthest away.
Why do you think the speed of comets increase as they near the sun?
It gives off gas and dust in the form of a coma and a tail.
What do comets and asteroids not have in common?
Comets are Comets and Asteroids are Asteroids
How are comets classified?
how are comets classfied
Does comets travel at the same speed?
No.
Is it possible to live on comets?
No its not possible to live on comets cauz: 1. they have no atmosphere and gravitation. 2. they have high speed spin.

What are some What are facts about comets?
As a comet gets closer to the sun its speed increases.
How do comets degenerate?
extreame speed cant keep the rock together so it will break apart

Can a comets tail be more than 100 million kilometers?
It only depends on the mass and the speed it's travelling at.
