What else can I help you with?
What passes by the sun yet does not make a shadow?
The answer is a comet. Comets are celestial bodies that orbit the Sun and release gas and dust creating a glowing tail, but they do not create a shadow as they are composed mainly of ice and dust particles.
Is Lunar Dust on the moon actually volcanic ash?
No, lunar dust is mainly composed of fine particles of silicate minerals, glass fragments, and asteroids/meteorite debris. It is formed mainly by the impact of asteroids and meteorites on the moon's surface, not from volcanic activity like volcanic ash on Earth.
What is the ice and dust that orbits the sun?
Ice and dust that orbit the sun are known as comets. Comets are composed of a mixture of rock, dust, water ice, and frozen gases such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, methane, and ammonia. When a comet approaches the sun, the heat causes the ice to vaporize and create a glowing coma and tail.
An object composed mainly of ice is orbiting the sun in an elliptical path this object is most likely?
A comet is an object composed mainly of ice that orbits the sun in an elliptical path. Comets are made up of dust, rock, and frozen gases, and they develop a glowing coma and tail when they are close to the sun due to the heating and vaporization of their icy components.
What is a frozen junk of ice and dust that orbit sun?
A comet.
What is the object composed mainly of ice and dust?
A Comet

What is the stuff that coalesces to form planets referred to as dust composed of at particle level?
Mainly hydrogen.
What is a Mixture of rock dust and frozen gases that travel in an oblong orbit?
The mixture of rock dust and frozen gases that travels in an oblong orbit is known as a comet. Comets are composed of ice, dust, and rocky material, which, when they approach the Sun, heat up and release gas and dust, forming a glowing coma and often a tail. Their orbits are typically highly elliptical, bringing them close to the Sun and then taking them far out into the solar system.
What is in planet jupiter ring?
It's composed of dust - mainly from its satellites Adrastea and Metis. The dust thrown up from their surfaces is 'captured' by Jupiter's strong gravity.
What is Saturn surface made of?
The surface of Saturn is composed mainly of different forms of helium and hydrogen.
Is Lunar Dust on the moon actually volcanic ash?
No, lunar dust is mainly composed of fine particles of silicate minerals, glass fragments, and asteroids/meteorite debris. It is formed mainly by the impact of asteroids and meteorites on the moon's surface, not from volcanic activity like volcanic ash on Earth.
Chunks of ice and dust that usually have long elliptical orbits are called?
The object you speak of is a comet. they are low density objects composed mainly of dust and ice loosely bound by gravity, making them more fragile than other celestial bodies. heat and radiation cause comets to off-gas, producing their distinctive tails. I'm not sure exactly why their orbit is elliptical.
What is composed of ice frozen gases and rocks?
Comets are composed of ice, frozen gases, rocks, and dust. When they orbit closer to the sun, they form a glowing coma and a tail as the ice and gases vaporize.
Do comets have dust?
Yes they do - they're mainly composed of tiny particles of 'space dust' and ice. When they get close to the sun. The 'solar wind' causes these microscopic particles on the comet's surface to detach and form the familiar 'tail'
What composed galaxy?
If you mean, what are they composed of, galaxies consist of stars, dust, gas, and black holes - but MAINLY they are made out of invisible stuff (dark matter), which makes up about 80-90% of a typical galaxy's mass.
What is the soil of Uranus?
Uranus is a gas giant planet composed mainly of hydrogen and helium. It does not have a solid surface like Earth, so it does not have soil.
