How can you differentiate a meteor from a comet when you viewed from earth?

The meteor is in the atmosphere and is only visible for seconds to minutes. The comet is much further away outside the atmosphere and can be observed for weeks to many months.


What part of a comet is formed due to melting of the comet by the sun's energy?

The coma of a comet is formed due to melting of the comet's nucleus by the Sun's energy. This creates a cloud of gas and dust that surrounds the nucleus and forms the visible atmosphere of the comet.


What is a daredevil comet?

A daredevil comet is a comet when in the place where the comet is, you are assinged to defeat someone that you have already defeated. But the difference is that you have to do this with only one chance.


How an atmosphere is produced around a comet?

First, it is important to understand the definition of an atmosphere. Simply put, it is merely a layer of gas surrounding a celestial body I.e. A planet or asteroid or comet etc. With this in mind it is also important to know that every celestial body has an atmosphere (though many of them are incomprehensibly thin) because they will all possess some amount of gas attracted to the body by gravity. As for how it is formed around a comet: as the comet travels through space, it will collect stray gas molecules (escaped helium atoms from a star or perhaps a variet of different atoms from a nebula) from it's surroundings. These collected gas molecules are what makes up the comet's atmosphere. Other thoughts: Volatile gases and liquids being expelled from the interior of the comet as it approaches the sun.

Does a comet burn when it enters the earth atmosphere?

Yes, a comet experiences intense heating and friction as it enters Earth's atmosphere, causing it to burn and create a bright streak of light known as a meteor or shooting star. This process is due to the extreme speed at which the comet is traveling through the atmosphere.
