Short period comets are thought to originate in the Kuiper Belt, outside the orbit of Neptune.
Long period comets originate in the Oort Cloud, which is far more distant, about half way to the nearest star!
Comets, as with any astronomical body, can have its orbit perturbed (changed) by external gravitational forces. Long period comets can become short period and vice versa. The orbits can range from a few tens of years to many thousands, some can even escape altogether.
What else can I help you with?
Oort cloud comets are so far from the Sun that gravity of neighboring stars can alter their orbits?
True. We think; the Oort Cloud is a hypothesis, because so far we are unable to detect small dark objects so far from the Earth. We have never actually detected anything in the Oort Cloud. But long-period comets come from SOMEWHERE, and Jan Oort's idea of a "cloud" of primitive objects makes sense.
What comes from the Oort cloud?
The comets with long periods of revolution around the Sun.
Who was jabba's translater?
Threepio was Jabba's translator for a short period but as evidenced by the Cole Wars series he has had several translators over his long life-span. This is probably due to the fact that Jabba has a short temper and is quick to destroy any who anger him.
Do you wear a short or long dress to homecoming?
Short. You usually wear long dresses to prom instead.
What is long-run period?
The long-run period in economics refers to a timeframe in which all factors of production and costs are variable, allowing firms to adjust their resources and production levels fully. Unlike the short run, where at least one input is fixed, the long run enables businesses to make strategic decisions regarding scaling operations, entering or exiting markets, and optimizing efficiency. In this period, firms can achieve economies of scale and adjust to changes in technology and market conditions. Overall, the long run is essential for understanding how firms can adapt and grow over time.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LONG AND SHORT PERIODIC COMETS?
Short period comets have a period of less than 200 years Long period comets have a period of more than 200 years.
How are comets different?
-- Despite where they come from, some comets have different mass qualities. While some are long-term comets, some are short-term. Short-term period comets originate in the Kuiper belt or it's "shattered disc", which is around the orbit of Neptune. Long-term period comets originate in Oort cloud, which is a cloud of icy bodies in space.
Where do long period comets cycling over 200 years come from?
Long period comets originate in the Oort Cloud.
How are comets classified?
Comets are classified based on the length of their orbital period and their origin. Short-period comets have orbital periods less than 200 years, while long-period comets have longer orbital periods. Comets can also be classified based on their composition and physical characteristics, such as size and brightness.
Where do long Comet cycling over 200 years come from?
Long period comets originate in the Oort Cloud.
Is halleys comet long period or short period comet?
That depends on what you call 'long' or 'short'. Halley's period is in the neighborhood of 75 years, give or take a few years. Since that's short enough for two perihelions to occur within a single human lifetime, I guess it ought to be considered a short period.
How long can the period be for a long period comet?
Long-period comets have periods of over 200 years.The longest would probably be somewhere around a million years (comparable to the orbital periods of objects in the Oort cloud); much longer than that, and it will go away far enough to be captured by the gravitational field of other stars.
What do you call the region of the solar system which is home to long period comets?
Long period comets are thought to reside mainly in the Oort Cloud.
What ia the zone from which a long period comet comes from?
By definition, long period comets come from within the gravitational pull of this solar system; when they leave the solar system, they are no longer considered to have a period.
What are the types of comets?
Comets can be classified into two main types: short-period comets, which have orbits of less than 200 years and originate from the Kuiper Belt; and long-period comets, which have orbits of more than 200 years and originate from the Oort Cloud. Additionally, there are also sungrazing comets, which pass extremely close to the Sun.
Comets that appear within every 200 years are called comets?
long period comet
Is stint a short period or a long period?
a short period.
