What else can I help you with?
Is it humanly possible to see a comet twice?
Yes, it is possible for a comet to be visible from Earth more than once if it has a return orbit. Some comets have orbital periods that bring them back around and make them visible multiple times in a human lifetime.
What is the point in the moon elliptical orbit where it is farthest from the earth?
That point is called apogee and it rotates round the orbital plane every 19 years.
Comet visible from earth every 76 years?
No comets are not visble on earth, every 76 years, only Halley's comet is only visible every 76 years
Does Pluto orbit the sun every 2.5 Earth years?
No, Pluto orbits the sun approximately every 248 Earth years. Its orbit is much longer and more elliptical compared to the planets in the inner solar system, contributing to its unique place in our solar system.
What is in space every 75 years?
Halley's Comet, a periodic comet that appears roughly every 75 years, is present in space. It is one of the most famous comets and was last seen in 1986.
What do scientists call comets that orbit the sun every 200 years or more?
Long-period comet
Comets that appear within every 200 years are called comets?
long period comet
What is a small icy body usually with an elliptical orbit and a tail when near to the sun?
The tail is not of light itself, but consists of icy particles (mostly gas) reflecting light from the sun. Such objects are known as comets. Comets that originate from the Kuiper Belt, a ring of dirty ice balls in orbit out beyond Neptune, are short period comets. They orbit the sun once a century or so, until all the ice and gas burn off and they probably become asteroids. Comets from much further out (the Oort Cloud) generally do not orbit in the plane of the solar system, and are usually long period comets. These orbit only once every few thousand years, sometimes only once per hundred thousand years or more.
Time for comets to orbit the sun in years?
Variable. From tens of years to hundreds and probably thousands
What comet takes about 76 years to orbit?
Halley's Comet has an orbital period of about 76 years. It is one of the most famous comets and can be seen from Earth approximately every 76 years.
The amount of time it takes for a comet to complete its orbit?
33 years.
How long does in take for haileys comet take to orbit the earth?
Halley's Comet orbits the sun, not the earth, roughly every 76 years.
How often do comets fly by earth?
every 76 years
When have comets been spotted over the last 100 years?
Typically, several comets are spotted every year.
Has a comet ever came twice?
yes, comets orbit the sun, so we are always seeing them. some even takes millions of years to orbit the sun.
How long could a long period comets take to orbit around the Sun?
Possibly hundreds of thousands of years.
What is periodicity as it relates to comets?
A comet that takes the same time to make its orbit of the Sun. We can predict with a good degree of accuracy as to when we can see it again. Halley's Comet is the most famous, coming about every 75 or 76 years. It is not totally precise as it can vary, so we can only say about every 75 or 76 years.
