The idea that a comet is like a "dirty snowball" refers to its composition, which is primarily made up of ice, dust, and rocky material. This analogy highlights how comets contain frozen gases and water, similar to a snowball, along with various organic compounds and dust particles, hence the "dirty" aspect. When comets approach the Sun, the heat causes the ice to vaporize, creating a glowing coma and sometimes a tail, which further illustrates their dynamic nature as they travel through the solar system.

What would have happened if the 1986 observations of Halley's comet had not supported Dr Whipple hypothesis?

Dr. Fred Whipple came up with the idea that comets are "dirty snowballs"; primarily ice and frozen gasses, holding a large quantity of dust, pebbles and rocks. If the evidence hadn't supported his theory, he would have had to go back and come up with a different theory. That's the way science works - or at least, is SUPPOSED to work.

Snowball and Napoleon. If one made a suggestion the other would not approve of it. For example the windmill. When Snowball came up with the idea, Napoleon said that it would not work. But as soon as Napoleon chased Snowball away, he decided to build the windmill anyway.

Who does orwel suggest is responsible for spreading the idea that snowball visits the farm at night?

In George Orwell's "Animal Farm," Napoleon suggests that Snowball is responsible for various misfortunes on the farm, including the idea that he sneaks onto the farm at night. He uses Squealer, the propaganda pig, to spread these rumors, instilling fear among the animals and consolidating his power. This tactic serves to divert attention from Napoleon's own failures and to create a scapegoat in Snowball.
