Is Halley's orbit to earth the same each time?
No, Halley's comet orbits the sun and its orbit is not the same each time it passes by Earth. The orbit of Halley's comet is an elliptical shape, so its distance from Earth and speed can vary during each approach.
How do astronomers know when hale bopp will come back to earth?
Astronomers can predict the return of comets like Hale-Bopp by using mathematical models that trace the comet's orbit based on its previous trajectory and gravitational interactions with other celestial bodies. By studying the comet's orbit, scientists can estimate when Hale-Bopp will make its next appearance near Earth.
What does halleys commit look like?
Halley's Comet is a periodic comet that is visible from Earth roughly every 75-76 years. When it passes close to the sun, it develops a bright coma and a visible tail. Halley's Comet is known for its long, elliptical orbit that takes it from the outer solar system to the inner solar system.
Why doesn't halles comet stop?
Halley's Comet is in a closed gravitational orbit of the sun ... just like the Earth, all the other planets, and all the asteroids are. An object in a gravitational orbit keeps going unless there's something that acts on it to make it stop. That's how gravity works, and all other motions in general.
A body of solids and frozen gases that orbit the sun?
A comet is a body of solids and frozen gases that orbit the sun. When a comet's orbit brings it close to the sun, it heats up and releases gases, creating a glowing coma and long tail that can be visible from Earth.
How many earth years does it take a comet to orbit?
Halley's Comet takes 73.5 years to orbit the sun but every comet is different just like planets.
Is Halley's orbit to earth the same each time?
No, Halley's comet orbits the sun and its orbit is not the same each time it passes by Earth. The orbit of Halley's comet is an elliptical shape, so its distance from Earth and speed can vary during each approach.
Why does Halley's comet travel through our solar system?
I don't know gravitational pull like how the moon is in orbit and circles the earth I guess
What is the orbit of a meteroid?
Meteroid orbits are random. Much like a comet.
How was Halley's comet created?
It was created like any other comet: Ice chunks fuse together to the nucleus of the comet and it obtains an orbit around the sun.
How do astronomers know when hale bopp will come back to earth?

By studying the comet's orbit, scientists can estimate when Hale-Bopp will make its next appearance near Earth.
What force keeps a comit in orbit?
The force that keeps a comet in orbit around a larger celestial body, like the sun, is gravity. The gravitational pull between the comet and the larger body keeps the comet moving in a curved path around it.

What is a meteors storm?
Each time a comet comes near the Sun, the dust and debris from a comet passing near the Sun are pushed out a LITTLE bit from the head of the comet, but MOST of the dust and rocks from the comet continue along in pretty much the same orbit as before. Over the centuries, the trail of dust and rocks spreads out along the orbit to fill in the entire orbital path. When the Earth's orbit crosses any part of the comet's orbit, we have "meteor showers". Most meteors are the size of a grain of sand, and the "average" meteor is about the size of a grain of rice; a meteor the size of a Golf ball is pretty big, and meteors like the one that exploded over Russia in March, 2013 are enormous..

Does a comment orbit the sun?
NO!!! A 'comment' , a statement made by someone, may 'go round the world'. However, I think you mean 'Comet'. Note the spelling. Yes comets do orbit the Sun. However, they orbit out of the plane of the Solar System planets. That is they orbit at an angle to the plane of the Solar System/ The most famous comet if Halley's Comet, which orbits once every 76 years. Its orbit is out of the plane of the Solar System.
Do comets orbit in the shape of a planets orbit?
A comet that's bound to the sun and appears periodically is in an elliptical orbit. A comet that whizzes through the solar system only once and then leaves for good is in a hyperbolic orbit. If the comet is periodic but with an exceptionally long period ... thousands of years e.g. ... then we can't tell, from the small part of its orbit that we can see, whether it's elliptical or hyperbolic.
