Do comets orbit Jupiter?
Yes, some comets have been observed to orbit Jupiter. These comets can either be captured by Jupiter's gravity and become temporary moons, or have their orbits altered by Jupiter's gravitational pull.
All comets orbit the Sun in the same direction as the planets?
False. While most comets orbit the Sun in the same direction as the planets (counterclockwise when viewed from above Earth's North Pole), there are exceptions. Some comets have retrograde orbits, meaning they orbit in the opposite direction of the planets.
What are the comets called that orbit the sun every 200 years or less?
short period comets
Which celestial bodies orbit the Sun?
the asteroid belt, the kuiper belt, and the oort cloud.
What does the sun's gravitational pull keep in orbit?
Planets, asteroids, meteors, comets, moons (which are also in orbit around their respective planets), dust particles, interplanetary gas.
Do comets orbit mars and Jupiter?
No. Comets orbit the sun. Many asteroids orbit the sun in between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
Do comets orbit asteroids?
No. Comets orbit the sun.
What planet do comets orbit?
Comets don't orbit a planet, they orbit the sun.
What has a larger orbit comets or planets?
Comets.
Explain the difference in the earths climate change when the earths orbit changes from elliptical to circular?
Earth's eccentricity Eccentricity is defined as the difference in shape between an ellipse and a perfect circle. In a similar fashion to Earth's obliquity, the more uniform Earth's orbit is (more like a perfect circle), the less difference there is in climate change throughout the year.
Do comets orbit Jupiter?
Yes, some comets have been observed to orbit Jupiter. These comets can either be captured by Jupiter's gravity and become temporary moons, or have their orbits altered by Jupiter's gravitational pull.
What do commets orbit?
Comets orbit stars
How are comets and the sun related?
comets orbit the sun
Is neptunes orbit more circular than earths orbit?
No, Neptune's orbit is actually more eccentric (less circular) than Earth's orbit. Neptune's orbit is more elongated, with a greater difference between its closest and farthest points from the Sun compared to Earth's orbit.
Do comets and meteors both orbit the sun?
no only comets.
Are comets moons?
No. Comets are not moons as they orbit the sun, not planets.
What best descrbes a comets orbit?
An elipptical orbit
