How many comets hit Jupiter per year?
The comets orbiting Jupitor in the Kuiper Belt are controlled by Jupiters gravity pull. It was thought that Jupitor would keep Earth safe from these many massive comets but it is now known that Jupitor does not always cross the path of them and they get out of the orbit as was the case with Showemaker Levy-9.
Why can you only see the comets when they are near the sun?
At least with the naked eye, yes. Comets can become visible around the time they pass the orbit of Mars, though on its own a comet-sized object would not be visible to the naked eye anyway. However, it is possible to spot such objects with advanced telescopes.
When is the next comet going to appear?
In mid-September 2011, the following comets are brighter than magnitude 12 as seen from Earth: -- P/2007 R5 SOHO -- C/2010 X1 Elenin -- 45P Honda-Mrkos-Pajdusakova -- C/2009 P1 Garradd
Why is it safe in the eye of a hurricane?
Because all the air AROUND the eye is going at such high speeds, it keeps a circular course creating the eye. No wind can get in or out so it is calm.
Why do astronomers believe they can learn about the early earth by studing comets?
Because comets were created about the same time as the Earth.
What comets would you see on a trip from Earth to Titan?
That will depend on when you make the trip. There are MANY comets detected each year, although only a few become bright enough to be seen with the naked eye, and very few are bright enough to be seen with the naked eye from bright city lights. We typically detect comets when they are about a year out from the Sun, although a flurry of smaller "Sun-diving" comets were detected only hours before they fell into the Sun in December, 2010.
How many comets are seen in 30 years?
There is no set number, because new comets are discovered all the time. Not all comets that are discovered will be visible with the naked eye.

Will there be a comet in 2012?
There are comets all the time, sometimes we can see them with the naked eye.
What does the eye socket horse do?
It keeps the eye in place and protects it.
What is the function of eye sockets?
it surrounds you eye muscles
What does it mean if a girl keeps staring at you?
She could be interested in you, or maybe she might think your kind of weird.
Is comet visible in the sky?
As of October 12, 2014 there are no comets visible to the naked eye from Earth. There are several visible to telescopes, and a couple that are visible in binoculars, if you know where to look. A good website to go to if you want to know about currently visible comets is cometchasing.skyhound.com. The site is updated with names, approximate positions, and brightness; they even give some idea of what it will take (in terms of how large a telescope you need) to see it. Once you know the names of the comets that might be visible, you can check for further information on them so that you know exactly where to look on any given night.
What kind of a galaxy is earth in?
Our galaxy is in the spiral category, That means that it is like a hurricane, gas, dust, comets, planets, and other things all orbit a hole in the middle(a "eye"). And it is called the Milky Way Galaxy.
What does it mean when a guinea pig keeps his head turned to the side?
When your guinea pig tilts its head to one side it might have a eye or ear infection.
What does the fluids in a cow eye do for the eye?
It acts in the exact same way it would for our eyes: keeps it moist from drying out and keeps the eye lubricated so it can move in its socket. Inside the eye, fluids help keep the shape of the eye like it should be (round).
What does the conjunction in the human eye do?
It helps the eye stay in place and keeps it connected to the socket. :)
