Why does halley comet have oval shape?
i honestly think that the comet is ovel shaped so it can travel faster in sapce
When does a comets tail travel in front of it instead of behind?
A comet's tail is pushed away from the comet by solar wind. if the comet is moving away from the sun, the tail will be pushed ahead of its trajectory.
Where do comet orbit?
most comets travel near the oort belt.
What is is comet?
A comet is an icy body that releases gas or dust. Most of the comets that can be seen from Earth travel around the sun in long, oval orbits.
Does a comet's tail always point 180 degrees away from its direction of travel?
Yes, a comet's tail always points away from the sun due to the solar wind. As the comet travels in its orbit, the pressure of the solar wind pushes the gas and dust in the tail away from the sun, creating the iconic tail that points in the opposite direction of the comet's movement.
Can you travel to Halley's Comet?
As of now, there are no spacecraft missions planned to travel to Halley's Comet. The last time it was visited by a spacecraft was in 1986 by the ESA's Giotto mission. The comet is currently not within reach of any existing spacecraft technology.
If a comets ion tail is pointing perpendicular to its direction of travel the comet is?
Close to or at perihelion.
How does Halley's comet travel through the solar system?
The same way all other objects in the solar system travel, it will be back in 2061.
Can a comet go a light year in 1 second?
No. A light year is the distance light travels in a year, and nothing can travel faster than light. Therefore, the quickest that anything could travel a light year is 1 year. A comet travels much slower than light.
Why does Halley's comet travel though our solar system regularly?
It's in a gravitational orbit with the sun. Just like every other planet, moon, comet, asteroid, and meteoroid in the solar system.
Dying comet fragments that continued to batter Jupiter travel at speeds of about 58-117?
Comet fragments that continue to collide with Jupiter typically travel at speeds ranging from 58 to 117 kilometers per second. These high speeds result from the gravitational interactions of the comet fragments with Jupiter's immense mass, causing them to accelerate significantly as they approach the planet.
What is a ball of ice dust and gasses that travels through space and orbits the sun?
a comet/meteorite
