As of November 2009, astronomers had listed 3,648 known comets (580 unclassified). This is a small fraction of the number that could exist, which could be as high as a trillion or more. Most will never come into proximity of the Sun, trapped in orbits well beyond the planets of the solar system.
Shooting stars are not stars to begin with. They are dust particles and small meteors entering our planets atmosphere. Due to the intense heat on entry into our atmosphere they burn and produce the glow.
Unknown. How many grains of sand are there on the beaches of the earth.
It would be impossible to put an accurate number on them. Certainly many, many millions
Several comets are observed every year. Not all of them are spectacular, or can even be seen with the naked eye, so the exact answer is not known.
At a rough guess, there may be trillions of comets in the Milky Way galaxy.MAby even more
There are a couple hundred billion stars in the Milky Way. A conservative estimate for the number of comets would be in the quadrillions.
There is no exact number since they are constantly crashing into Earth. Most are smaller than a grain of sand.
None - comets are in orbit round the Sun.
1 trillion
We are in the Milky Way Galaxy at the end of one of the arms.
Earth is in the milky way the milky way is a galaxy, a spiral galaxy i think and its called the milky way because it looks like milk when you see it at night yo other people who will probably answer like a second after me -Alex
The Milky Way has somewhere between 100 and 400 billion stars; most of those are red dwarf stars.
there are no other milky way galaxys there is only one so your answer is no
Every star you see is in the Milky Way, so you can say it is visible throughout the year. A particular line that looks like a trail or a sort of milky way goes through the night sky and can also be seen all year round in different constellations.
Our galaxy, the milky way, is made up of hundreds of billions of stars, many of which with their own planets, and other matter such as comets and asteroids etc.
You can find Planets, Billions of Stars, and Comets, meteoroids, comets, black holes and alot of other stuff.
Yes. Comets are tiny; the Milky Way is enormous.
The milky way "composes" an infinitesimally small part of the universe. Should this question actually mean "What is the milky way composed of?", here is an answer: The Milky Way is a galaxy and is therefore composed of many different celestial objects, including: stars, planets, comets, asteroids, cosmic dust and dark energy (hypothetically), among other things.
The Milky Way Galaxy is made up of all of the mentioned (with slight adjustments) but the major contributor is stars.
The Milky Way galaxy is made of stars, dust clouds, planets, comets, and other astronomical objects, probably including a black hole at the center, but mostly stars.
The Milky Way is our galaxy, there are many, many millions of suns that make up the Milky Way
the milky way is a galaxy, there are billions of stars in the milky way galaxy
Milky way is talking about our whole actual galaxy with a lot of stars, planets, asteroids, meteors, and comets, but solar system JUST refers to our sun, the moon, planets, and the stars which happen to be in the Milky way. They are two totally different things because of this.
The milky way contains about a dozen black holes in the milky way.
We are in the Milky Way galaxy.
Are galaxy is called the milky way and there's only 1 ;)
