Do comets orbit mars and Jupiter?
No. Comets orbit the sun. Many asteroids orbit the sun in between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
Are comets moons?
No. Comets are not moons as they orbit the sun, not planets.
Why do comets fall?
Comets do not fall. They orbit around the Sun in elongated orbits, with their paths often bringing them close to the Sun before they swing back out into the farther reaches of the solar system. This motion is due to the gravitational forces acting on the comet from the Sun.
Where do comets and asteroids go?
Most "asteroids" are in orbit around the Sun, unless disturbed by gravity or collisions. Comets may orbit the Sun regularly, or be drawn in from the outer solar system and pass by the Sun on their way back out (hyperbolic comets).
Comets are considered to belong to the solar system if they?
They have to orbit the sun or orbit a planet. This means they are if they are in the Galaxy.
Do comets orbit asteroids?
No. Comets orbit the sun.
Do comets orbit the sun in the same direction?
The orbits of comets are much more irregular than those of planets. Probably the majority do orbit in the same direction, but it's not a sure thing.
How are comets and the sun related?
comets orbit the sun
Paths in which objects travel around the sun?
Objects in our solar system, including planets, asteroids, and comets, travel around the Sun in elliptical orbits. The planets orbit the Sun in nearly circular paths along a plane known as the ecliptic. Comets and asteroids can have more eccentric and tilted orbits compared to the planets.
What planet do comets orbit?
Comets don't orbit a planet, they orbit the sun.
Do comets orbit mars and Jupiter?
No. Comets orbit the sun. Many asteroids orbit the sun in between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
Do comets orbit Jupiter?
Yes, some comets have been observed to orbit Jupiter. These comets can either be captured by Jupiter's gravity and become temporary moons, or have their orbits altered by Jupiter's gravitational pull.
Do comets and meteors both orbit the sun?
no only comets.
Are comets moons?
No. Comets are not moons as they orbit the sun, not planets.
Why do comets fall?
Comets do not fall. They orbit around the Sun in elongated orbits, with their paths often bringing them close to the Sun before they swing back out into the farther reaches of the solar system. This motion is due to the gravitational forces acting on the comet from the Sun.
How are asteroids and comets the same?
They both orbit the sun.
What do comets orbit in our solar system?
The sun.
