What is name of small bodies of water that travel through space?

The small bodies of water that travel through space are called comets. Comets are icy bodies that release gas and dust as they orbit the Sun, creating a glowing coma and sometimes a visible tail.


Do comets gain slightly in mass with each orbit around the sun?

Comets do not gain mass with each orbit around the sun. Their mass remains relatively constant as they travel through space. However, comets may lose mass gradually over time as they release volatile materials such as water vapor and dust, which form the comet's tail.


Is there ice in space?

Yes. Comets and many planetary rings (much of Saturn's rings, for instance) are made of ice. Because of virtually zero pressure, which allows for almost no temperature, most water in space is in the form of ice.


What have the space missions discovered?

Space missions have discovered a variety of things such as evidence of water on Mars, distant exoplanets, the presence of organic molecules in comets, and the first close-up images of Pluto. These missions have also provided insights into the structure of the Universe, the existence of black holes, and the composition of asteroids.


What is an icy object called in space?

An icy object in space is often referred to as a "comet." Comets are composed of ice, dust, and rocky material and typically exhibit a glowing coma and a tail when they approach the Sun. Other icy bodies in space can include "ice moons" and "icy asteroids," which are primarily made up of frozen gases and water ice.

What happened when a drop of water falls on a hot stove?

When a drop of water falls on a hot stove, it instantly vaporizes due to the high temperature of the stove. The water droplet transforms into steam, which rises quickly into the air.

Is there water in outer space?

Yes, there is water in outer space in the form of ice and vapor. It can be found in comets, asteroids, and even in the atmospheres of some planets and moons.


What are celestial comets?

Celestial comets is a more formal name for comets. Comets are objects in space orbiting the Sun with long orbits. They are thought to be made of frozen water. As they near the Sun they produce a long glowing tail trailing behind.
