Does the Halley's Comet ever leave our Solar System?
No. Halley's Comet barely gets past the orbit of Neptune, and not by much. It is well short of reaching into the Kuiper Belt.
How does height effect temperature of a place?
When you go higher up it gets colder. Then the lower you go it gets hotter because the closer you are to the inner core the hotter it gets.
Why are there no comets close to the Sun?
Comets are composed of volatile materials such as ice, dust, and rocky debris. When they come close to the Sun, the heat causes these materials to vaporize and form a glowing coma and tail. This process, known as outgassing, leads to the gradual disintegration of the comet. Therefore, comets tend to stay in the outer regions of the solar system where they can remain intact until they approach the Sun.
How does earth's revolution around the sun causes the yearly cycle of seasons?
The farther the sun gets away from the earth, the colder it is, that is WInter and Fall. The closer it gets the warmer it gets. That is Spring and Summer.
What part of the sun shapes the comet into a shimmering tail?
Basically the evaporated gas of whatever the comet nucleus is made of. Often methane, ammonia, carbon mon- and di-oxide. A very good article is in the link below. However, due to relative motion and a few other forces, the tail is not all that straight.
How does a comet develop a tail?
a comet gets a tail as it gets closer to the sun, due to solar winds.
What are some What are facts about comets?
As a comet gets closer to the sun its speed increases.
What kind of body in space has a long tail?
A comet - as it gets closer to the sun.
How is a comet different from a asteroid?
An asteroid is hunks of rock or metal a comet is ice and as it gets closer to the sun it turns to water vapor as it gets further it turns back to ice.
How does a comet shine as it moves closer towards the sun?
the Sun's heat and radiation produce a wind called the Solar Wind, as a comet gets close to the Sun it begins to melt. ... This is when a comet begins to shine.
What is the fuzzy outer layer of a comet called?
The Coma is the fuzzy outer layer of a comet.
Why comet travels more quickly on its orbit when it is closer the sun?
the comet moves fastest near the sun because the gravitational movement pulls it quickly and gets rid of the rock and ice on the tail
What is commet?
A comet is a ball of ice and dust that orbits the sun. As it gets closer to the sun, the heat and radiation from the sun cause the surface of the comet to be blown away, creating a tail that points away from the sun.
Does Halley's Comet have rings?
No, Halley's Comet does not have rings. It is a periodic comet that orbits the Sun every 75-76 years, and its nucleus is surrounded by a glowing coma and a tail formed by dust and gas particles as it gets closer to the Sun.
What are particles around the comet?
Particles around a comet usually include dust and gas that are released as the comet approaches the sun. These particles form a glowing cloud called a coma which envelops the nucleus of the comet. As the comet gets closer to the sun, the solar wind pushes on the particles in the coma, creating the tail that points away from the sun.
The nucleus and the coma compose the of the comet?
The nucleus and the coma compose the core of the comet. The nucleus is the solid, rocky part at the center, while the coma is the surrounding cloud of gas and dust that forms as the comet gets closer to the Sun and begins to vaporize.
Why does a comet appear bright when it passes through the inner solar system?
When a comet passes through the inner solar system, it gets closer to the Sun, which causes the Sun's heat to vaporize the comet's icy surface. This creates a glowing cloud of gas and dust around the comet, called a coma, which reflects sunlight and makes the comet appear bright. Additionally, as the comet moves closer to Earth, it may also appear brighter in the night sky.
