well u see comets could be bigger than others but also small ones burn up in the atmosphere making themm nothing like so: muduim comet + atmmospher = small comet big comet + atmosphere = medium comet oh SHlT is that god!? comet + atmosphere = big comet and super duper craz------- well u get the idea
What else can I help you with?
How often are comets seen?
Comets are typically visible from Earth every few years, with some being more frequently observed than others. Most comets are only visible for a short period of time as they move through the inner solar system. Astronomers actively monitor for new comets using telescopes and observatories.
Why do you rarely see comets?
Comets spend the majority of their time in the far reaches of our solar system, where they are not easily visible from Earth. They only become visible when they enter the inner solar system and are illuminated by the Sun, hence their rare appearances. Additionally, many comets have long orbital periods, further contributing to their infrequent sightings.
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.
Why are comets not seen very often in the night sky?
Comets spend most of their time far from the Sun in the outer solar system and are only visible when they come close enough to the Sun to develop a visible coma and tail. Additionally, their orbits may not bring them close to Earth very often, making them appear infrequently in the night sky.
Why are the sighting of some comets so many years apart?
Comets have highly elliptical orbits that can take them far from the Sun for long periods of time. This means that some comets may only be visible from Earth every few decades or even centuries when they come close enough to the Sun to be seen.
Are there currently any visible comets in your solar system?
There are no visible comets at this time.

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.

When was last comet last seen?
As objects visible to astronomers with telescopes, it is a rare time when some comet is not visible in the sky, at some place in the world. But as far as large, naked-eye comets, the last one was Comet Hale-Bopp, which reached maximum brightness in April of 1997. It will not return for about 2500 years. New comets are being discovered all the time, but there is no way to predict when or if a large, naked-eye comet will be seen again. We are reasonably sure of the return of Comet Halley, but that will next be in 2061.
What are comets and meteors made of?
Comets and meteors are made of rocks and boulders same as on earth. But since they are in space for a long time, they might have some differences, little differences.
If water instantly vaporizes in space why do comets last for so long?
Comets are made of ice, dust, and rock. When a comet approaches the sun, the heat causes the ice to vaporize, creating a cloud called a coma and a tail. This process can make comets visible from Earth for a long time even though their ice is being continuously vaporized.
When is the next time a coment will be visible from the earth?
There are comets visible all the time, but they are generally so small or so distant that few people other than amateur comet watchers ever see them. When will the next big, impressive comet be visible? Nobody knows; that's why hundreds of comet watchers spend their nights in home observatories looking for new comets. Guessing how impressive a comet is going to be from early observations is also difficult, because one never knows the exact composition of a comet. Every one is different, and they all have surprises.
Why can't you see comets in the night sky all of the time?
Because there aren't always comets!
