A comet because a comet is an icy ball traveling in space and when it passes the sun it begins to outgas and that is the tail we usually see.

The general consensus seems to be that stationary bikes are equally but not less stressful on the body than eliptical machines.


What is the path one body makes as it circles around another?

The path one body makes as it circles around another is called an orbit. This orbit is typically elliptical in shape, although it can also be circular, depending on the gravitational forces and the velocities involved. The body in orbit is influenced by the gravitational pull of the larger mass it is circling, resulting in a curved trajectory defined by the laws of celestial mechanics.

What is the definition of a heavenly body that circles the sun?

There is no special term except that the object is a member of the solar system. Millions of objects, (heavenly bodies) orbit the sun at varying distances going way out beyond the orbit of Neptune. Just a very very few (8, currently) are classed as planets.


Why does an asteroid on an eliptical orbit travel faster and certain points?

It's affected by the gravity well of the celestial body that it orbits. The approach to the perigee (closest point to the celestial body) will be the point at which the fastest acceleration occurs due to gravitational pull, the apogee (furthest point from the body). This is also known more coloquially as the slingshot effect.

What is the name of a body in orbit around the sun?

What small body that follows a highly elliptical orbit around the sun?

A small body that follows a highly elliptical orbit around the sun is a comet. Comets are icy objects that originate from the outer regions of the solar system and periodically enter the inner solar system, creating a bright coma and tail when they approach the sun.


What is an asteroid if it leaves its orbit?

An asteroid is a small rocky body that orbits the sun; if it leaves its orbit, it can potentially enter the Earth's atmosphere, becoming a meteor and potentially hitting the Earth's surface as a meteorite.


What is a small rocky body that travels through space?

An asteroid is a small, rocky body that travels through space. They are remnants from the formation of the solar system and most of them orbit the Sun in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.


What is a body in orbit around a planet called?

A body in orbit around a planet is called a satellite.


What is a body body in orbit around the sun that has defined sufficient mass gravity and a clear orbit?
