Do comet always maintain the same mass explain briefly?
No, comets do not always maintain the same mass. As they approach the Sun, comets can lose mass through sublimation of ice and dust particles, creating the characteristic glowing coma and tail. This loss of mass can impact a comet's appearance and trajectory over time.
How much does Halley's comet weigh?
Halley's comet's mass (weight) is exactly 2.2×1014 (TO the power of 14)
The mass extinction at the end of the Mesozoic Era was caused by .?
a comet impacting the earth
As a comet orbits the sun what happens?
The gasses liberated in the comet's tail are very diffuse. So it takes many trips of a comet about the sun to bleed off a lot of mass, unless the comet passes sufficiently close to the sun (or collides with it or with something else). Eventually the comet would become a much smaller, rocky body, sort of like an asteroid. All the water vapor, methane, and ammonia will have bled off.
What is the mass of frozen rock and gas that has a tail pointing away from the sun is called?
It is a comet.
Do comet always maintain the same mass explain briefly?
No, comets do not always maintain the same mass. As they approach the Sun, comets can lose mass through sublimation of ice and dust particles, creating the characteristic glowing coma and tail. This loss of mass can impact a comet's appearance and trajectory over time.
Do comet always maintain the same mass?
No, they revolve in the universe, so not possible... with same force and gravity. I think it can't be same.
Why does the direction of a comet always move away from the sun?
The tail points away from the sun Not the comet moves away from the sun always The tail is made of loose ice particles and rock like junk. The solar "wind" is made of the high energy particles thrown off from the sun and the tail will gather behind the main mass of the comet.
What is the life expectancy of a comet?
depends on its mass and speed
What is comet elenin?
It is supposed to be an "average" comet, but there is much speculation as to whether or not this is true. The mass of the object is still in question, and that helps promote the idea that it may not be a comet.
How much mass does Halley's comet contain?
I'm not entirely sure if this is precise, but Halley's Comet has about a mass of 2.2 x 10^14 kg, which is about 4.85 x 10^14 pounds.
What does the head of a comet do?
It doesn't 'do' anything. It contains the vast majority of the mass making up the comet. Gas and dust will 'boil' off when it approaches the sun giving the comet its distinct tail
How hard would a comet hit Mercury?
Hard. If you want more specific than that, you're going to need to know about the mass and speed of the comet.
How much does Halley's comet weigh?
Halley's comet's mass (weight) is exactly 2.2×1014 (TO the power of 14)
How can you define the word comet for homework?
The mass of ice and dust orbiting the sun.
A small mass of rock ice and frozen gases that orbits the sun is a?
Comet.
The mass extinction at the end of the Mesozoic Era was caused by .?
a comet impacting the earth
