Comets do not typically accrete (add material) in their orbits. Comets were formed along with the solar system billions of years ago. They are gradually vaporized as they circle the Sun, either becoming small asteroids, breaking up completely, or impacting planets such as Jupiter.

Why do you shrink at night?

actually, you don't shrink at night, you shrink in the daytime due to the sponglike connectors in your spine. These shrink during the day from standing, so you get about 2 or so inches shorter. But when youre laying down and asleep the spongy stuff relaxes out, thus returning you to your highest. (Sleep also makes you grow)


How do clouds form when water droplets grow?

Clouds form when water droplets in the air grow by condensing around tiny particles like dust or salt. As the air rises and cools, it reaches a point where the water vapor condenses into liquid water droplets, forming a visible cloud. These droplets continue to grow by colliding and merging with each other, eventually becoming large enough to fall as precipitation.
