What makes a comet seem larger than the sun?
A comet can appear larger than the sun when it is closer to Earth and has a larger visible tail. The tail of a comet can extend for millions of miles, creating the illusion of a bigger size compared to the sun when viewed from our perspective on Earth.
What are the other examples of comet?
Some other examples of comets include Comet Halley, Comet Hale-Bopp, and Comet Hyakutake. These comets are known for their brightness, size, and visibility from Earth.
Why would a person weigh less on Pluto compared to the earth?
Due to the mass or size of Pluto compared to Earth, about 2/3 the size of our moon, the gravitational pull of Pluto is greatly weaker than Earth's.
What are the gravity levels on Mercury?
The gravity on Mercury is about 38% of Earth's gravity, which means that objects weigh less on Mercury compared to Earth. This is due to Mercury's smaller size and mass compared to Earth.
Where is earth ranked in size compared with the other planets?
3rd
Is a comet smaller or bigger than the earth?
Depends on the comet. Size varies. But they are usually smaller.

What size is the nucleus of a comet?
Any size is possible, though most of them are "small", at least compared to things like planets. Halley's Comet, for example, is about 15x8x8 km, which is quite large on a human scale ... most mountains aren't that big ... but still small compared to Earth itself or even the Moon.
How big of an explosion if comet lulin had hit earth?
it depends on the size of the comet if it was small it would do about 5o/ out of a 1000 on earth if it was a very big one it would do about 989/ out of a 1000 so it depends on size
What are the other examples of comet?
Some other examples of comets include Comet Halley, Comet Hale-Bopp, and Comet Hyakutake. These comets are known for their brightness, size, and visibility from Earth.
What is the size of the earth compared to earth?
pretty close to the same
Is garradd comet a threat to earth?
I assume you are asking about C/2009 P1? This comet is no threat to Earth as it doesn't come anywhere near Earth. Its closest approach to the sun is about 1 1/2 times the size of Earth's orbit.
What size is mars compared to earth in a fraction?
Mars is about 53% the size of Earth. This means that if you were to represent the size of Mars compared to Earth as a fraction, it would be 0.53/1.
What is the approximate size of an atom?
An atom is the size of an orange compared to the Earth.
Which is the largest the earth the sun or the a comet?
The sun is the largest out of the three and then the earth and then a comet.
How likely is it for a comet to hit Earth in this lifetime?
Quite low. Debris shed from comets as they orbit the Sun strike the Earth thousands of times per year, but most of the debris, in the form of periodic meteor showers, is pretty tiny; an average sized particle would be the size of a grain of rice or smaller. But for the Earth to be struck by the nucleus of the comet itself? We're not certain that an actual comet has EVER struck the Earth, although we can be relatively confident that objects about the size of a comet has hit the Earth once every few thousand years or so. The probability of a comet striking the Earth within the next 50 years is quite low; one or two percent, but no higher.
What is the size of ganymede compared to earth?
Ganymede is the largest moon in the solar system and is about 26% larger in diameter compared to Earth's moon. However, when comparing it to Earth, Ganymede is still significantly smaller, with a diameter that is only about 41% the size of Earth.
