Comets are often not visible until they approach the Sun in the inner solar system, where the heat causes their ices to sublimate and release gas and dust, forming a glowing coma and sometimes a tail. Most comets spend the majority of their time in the cold outer regions of the solar system, making them difficult to detect until they come closer to the Sun. Therefore, while they may be present in the solar system, they are typically only seen when they become active and bright enough to be observed.
What else can I help you with?
Are comets older than our solar system?
Comets are made up of remnants from the early solar system, so their age is generally around the same as our solar system, approximately 4.6 billion years old. While some comets may contain even older material from beyond our solar system, as a whole, comets are not older than our solar system.
Who let comets into the solar system?
Nobody let them in. They formed with the solar system.
Where are Comets usually found?
Comets can be formed anywhere in space. They are mainly composed of ice and dust, which can be acquired from anywhere in space i.e pieces of chipped planets or random space particle. Hope this was helpful x]
What are the release dates for Comets Time Capsules of the Solar System - 1981?
Comets Time Capsules of the Solar System - 1981 was released on: USA: 1981
Astronomers think that most comets come from?
They are from extreme outer parts of the solar system (known as "Kuiper belt") and from a huge cloud of comets lying far beyond the orbit of Pluto, completely surrounding the Sun (known as "Oort cloud").
What is the typical size of comets that enter the inner solar system?
Occasionally they enter the realm of the inner solar system and become visible .five kilometers is a typical size -- but some are much larger.
Is Halley's comet part of our solar system?
Yes. The solar system is everything that orbits the sun.
Which comets have visited our solar system?
All the comets that have been seen in history were in the solar system and most still are.

What are the comets that go through the solar system?
All visible comets go through the solar system. Those that return periodically have elliptical orbits with the sun as one of the foci. Those that do not usually have hyperbolic orbits with the sun as a focus.
Are comets close to the inner or outer part of the solar system?
I scientifically believe that comets are closer to the outer part of the solar system.

Nobody let them in. They formed with the solar system.

Are there currently any visible comets in your solar system?
There are no visible comets at this time.
What do comets orbit in our solar system?
The sun.
