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
What is the comet part that can be millions of miles long?
The tail of a comet is over a million miles long.
What would be the typical eccentricities for a planet and a comet?

Would a tsunami triggered by a comet be bigger than a tsunami triggered by an earthquake?
actually a comet will make a bigger tsunami than an earth quake because it depends on how big the comet is so obviously if its a mini comet about the size of a fist its not going to do any affect but a comet like the size of Texas it would make a Mega Tsunami and once there was a Mega Tsunami the size of a city! and it flooded it completely.
What would happen if Halley's Comet never existed?
Nothing at all. Halley's Comet has had no physical effect on the world. There would still be hundreds of other comets in orbit, and we'd still be seeing bright lights in the sky. About the only effect of Halley's Comet was that it was a fairly short-period comet that even the relatively primitive astronomers of the time could tell was regularly repeating. Someone else, a little later, would have come to the inevitable conclusion.
Will you be able to see Encke comet with your eye?
I would say not because of the comet's course and trajectory of the comet you would need a good telescope to see it.

What is a speeding ice ball from space called?
That would be a comet.
What year did halley find his comet?
Halley didn't exactly find the comet named after him; doing calculations on the basis of several observations, he calculated the orbit and predicted when the comet would return. This was confirmed - the comet returned - after his death.Halley didn't exactly find the comet named after him; doing calculations on the basis of several observations, he calculated the orbit and predicted when the comet would return.

How much space would a comet wipe out if it hit Earth?
Depends on how big the Comet is.
Mark twain life and death coincided with what scientific event?
Mark Twain's life and death coincided with Halley's Comet. He was born in 1835, the year Halley's Comet made an appearance, and he died in 1910, shortly after the comet's next scheduled return. Twain famously predicted that he would die when the comet returned.
What is the average price on Comet dishwashers?
Comet dishwashers are no longer sold. As of November 2012, the comet company have stopped selling products. It would be advised to research other dishwashers as the Comet dishwashers are discontinued.
Who predicted that a comet would appear in 1758?
Halleyâ??s comet is named after English astronomer Edmond Halley. Halley examined reports of a comet approaching Earth in 1531, 1607 and 1682 and concluded that these three comets were actually the same comet returning over and over again. He then predicted the comet would come again in 1758.
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?

Does halleys comet cause catastrophies?
No. The only way a comet could cause a catastrophe would be if it collided with Earth. The orbit of Halley's Comet keeps it at a safe distance from us.
