How do scientists explore comets?
by a telescope Until recently, the only way scientists have been able to study comets is by telescope. However, the ESA's recent Rosetta mission finally reached the destination of its decade-long journey and is currently orbiting a comet. It has even sent out a small lander that has landed on the surface! This mission has advanced our understanding of comets by leaps and bounds.
What do scientists call the study of comets and other things related to space?
Scientists refer to the study of comets and other celestial bodies as astronomy or astrophysics, depending on the specific focus of the research. Cometary science involves studying the composition, behavior, and origins of comets, while broader astronomical research includes investigating the entire universe, including stars, planets, and galaxies.
What do comets and asteroids not have in common?
Comets are Comets and Asteroids are Asteroids
What is study of comets planets name?
The study of comets and planets is called planetary science. It involves the investigation of the formation, dynamics, and geology of celestial bodies in our solar system, including comets and planets. Scientists in this field use a variety of observational and analytical techniques to better understand these objects and their interactions.
What features of the moon are caused by rocks or comets that crash into its surface?
Impact craters, rays, and regolith (loose, fragmented material) are features on the moon caused by rocks or comets crashing into its surface. Impact craters are circular depressions formed by high-speed impacts, rays are long trails of ejecta material, and regolith is the layer of broken rock and dust covering the moon's surface.
What did scientists believe about comets in 1910?
they belived that comets are small and big
How close can comets get to the sun?
As close as they want - including crashing into it. Gravity and inertia control their orbits.
What made the moons craters?
the moons craters were made by comets an meteors crashing into it :p :0 ;D
Do comets and asteroids both develop glowing tails near the sun?
no, only comets develop glowing tails.Fun Fact:some scientists called comets "dirty snowballs"
How has comets helped the study of space?
Comets come from the coldest parts of the universe and contain ice and organic materials. Scientists believe that impacts from comets on earth are responsible for contributing to organic materials and possibly life on earth.
How ocean is formed by comeps?
Comets containing ice hit the earth, the ice melted and contributed to our oceans. Scientists don't know what percentage of our ocean came from comets.
Is it true that the sun would die?
Don't think so stars and comets and meteors are constantly crashing into the sun thus making it hotter and stronger so all the power we use is just being replaced by those crashing objects
Have Comets actually been observed striking a planet in your Solar system?
Yes. In addition to several comets crashing into the Sun so far this year, the 1994 impacts of the Shoemaker-Levy 9 comet fragments into Jupiter were quite spectacular.

What do scientists call comets that orbit the sun every 200 years or more?
Long-period comet

How did all the water get on to earth?
We dunno.At one time scientists thought it came from comets, but now that we've learned more about the relative isotopic abundances in comets, that is no longer seeming quite so likely.
