What happens if the earth gets to close to the sun?

Answer 1

The path that the Earth takes around the sun is called its orbit. A complete orbit of the Earth around the Sun occurs every 365.256363004 days (or a year.)
The path of the Earth along which it revolves around the Sun is called its orbit.

Answer 2

Both of the comet tails are pushed away by the light and solar wind that is always streaming out of the Sun. This means the tails always point away from the Sun. The dust tail may curve a bit, but the plasma tail points directly away, so that the two tails may seem to form a "V".

Answer 3

The actual path is a slow (quarter of a billion years) orbit around the center of the galaxy.

The apparent path as seen on Earth is a figure eight.

To see it stick a stick in the ground and mark the end of the shadow at noon every day for a year. Note that you have just "invented" a calendar.

Answer 4

The idea is that it isn't the Sun that is moving through the sky; it is Earth that moves around the Sun. As a result of Earth's movement around the Sun, the Sun's position - from our point of view - changes, with respect to the background. Thus, once month it is in one constellation, the next month it has moved on to the next constellation.

Answer 5

Comets simply means asteroids coming from the asteroid belt between mars and jupiter. When comets get close to the sun they get disintegrated and destroyed by the sun"s heat itself

I don't believe the above answer is correct. Asteroids and comets are not the same thing. While asteroids come from the asteroid best, most comets come from the Oort Cloud or Kuiper Best, far beyond Neptune. They are also made up differently - comets being ice and dust, while asteroids are rock.

Answer 6

Comets are balls of frozen mud and ice that come from the Kuiper Belt (don't expect that to be spelled right) and the Oort cloud. As it approaches the sun, the tails become visable. The tails always point away from the sun, like if the sun was a giant fan blowing in every direction, and no matter which way the comet travled, the tail was always blown away from the sun. As the comet got closer to the sun, it would probably start melting faster than if, say, it were very far from it.

Answer 7

Actually the tails always point in the same direction which is away from the Sun. As the comet is coming closer to the Sun the Solar winds hit it and blow the particles away making the comet head look like its at the front. Once it has gone round the Sun and is moving away the tail is still pointing away from the sun but the tail of the comet is at the front and the head is at the back giving the impression that it is flying backwards.

Answer 8

The sun's apparent path is called the 'ecliptic'. The constellations through which it

passes are the constellations of the zodiac, thought to have special significance

on account of the sun's path through them.

Answer 9

The Sun follows the ...ecliptic... during its annual trip around the sky. If you mean the stretched figure-8 shape, that's the analemma. Note that analemma refers specifically to the path a celestial body appears to take (regardless of what shape it is), not the figure-8 shape itself.
It goes around in a circle

Answer 10

Comets consist of 3 parts:

• The nucleus
• The coma
• The tail

The tail always faces away from the Sun. The Nucleus faces towards the Sun.
