Does a comet rotate around the sun or earth?

Answer 1

Fasten your seat-belt:

The Earth and Moon both orbit their common center of mass ... the place where

the pivot would have to be if the Earth and Moon were on opposite ends of a

see-saw. Since the Earth has roughly 80 times as much mass as the Moon has,

the pivot has to be 80 times as far from the center of the Moon as it is from the

center of the Earth, which means that the point they're both orbiting is actually

inside the Earth. That's why it looks like the Moon is orbiting the Earth ... the

Moon is making this tremendous trip around the common center and the Earth

is barely wiggling.

You heard it here first.

Answer 2

The Earth orbits the sun and the moon orbits the Earth

Answer 3

The Sun orbits the center of the Galaxy, every 225 million years, roughly.

Answer 4

No, the moon orbits the earth while the earth orbits the sun.

Answer 5

The sun. The moon orbits the Earth. All the planets in our solar system rotate around the sun.

Answer 6

If they did orbit earth they would become a moon. No, they orbit the sun. unless if captured by a planets pull, they hurl into the planets atmosphere

Answer 7

When they are near the Earth. A comet can be quite close to the Sun and be entirely invisible, being either on the far side of the Sun or too near the Sun to be seen.

Answer 8

A comet orbits around the sun, just like the Earth and other planets in the solar system. It does not rotate around the Earth.

Answer 9

the moon orbits the earth :)
