What else can I help you with?
What is the name for the outer part of the solar system where comets can be found?
find out sombody pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
What do comets and asteroids have in common?
Comets and asteroids are both celestial bodies orbiting the Sun. Comets are icy bodies that develop a tail when passing close to the Sun, while asteroids are rocky or metallic objects that typically orbit in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Both comets and asteroids can occasionally enter Earth's vicinity.
How is the orbital circumference of a planet determined?
The orbital circumference of a planet is determined by both the mass and size of a planet. Although a planet will orbit the sum in an eliptical sphere shaped orbit, the circumference of these are almost always relative to the mass and density of the planet. It is also determined on how far away it is from the sun. The orbital circumference of a planet is determined by both the mass and size of a planet.

What are the characteristics of minor planet?
The term minor planet is still used, but after reclassification in 2006 these are now generally referred to as dwarf planets. Dwarf planets orbit the sun, but are not satellites, that is to say that they do not orbit another planet, since then they would be classified as moons. They are big enough to hold an ellipsoid shape under their own gravity (like a squashed sphere), but have not cleared their orbit of other objects. That is to say that at the same distace out, there is a significant amount of other matter that is not part of the dwarf planet.
Why is Pluto an ice planet?
It's a member of the Kuiper belt (the inner part of the Oort cloud), home of comets and leftovers from the formation of the solar system.
Do Comets orbit Earth the way the moon orbits Earth?
no, comets do not orbit Earth. If comets did orbit Earth, it would be Earths Moon's, but comets orbit the kuiper belt at the edge of the Solar System. Some times comets hit each other and get knocked out of their orbit and possibly hit a planet.
Are comets part of the of the asteroid belt?
No. Comets come from beyond the asteroid belt, mostly from a region called the Kuiper Belt, beyond the orbit of Neptune.
What does a planet have to do to be part of the solar system?
Orbit the sun.
What is planet has parts that extend beyond Pluto's orbit?
A part of Neptune's orbit extends beyond that of Pluto.
Large group of comets beyond Pluto's orbit?
The Kuiper Belt, a theorized area far beyond Neptune. There are actually two "shells" of debris around the Solar System. The Kuiper Belt is beyond Neptune, and the Oort Cloud is believed to be beyond that.
Is Saturn part of the Oort cloud?
No. The Oort cloud is way beyond the orbit of Saturn. It's where many of the comets come from.
Is Halley's comet part of our solar system?
Yes. The solar system is everything that orbits the sun.
Are comets part of the solar system?
They are because they are parts of a planet or space material that stays or floats around in space
What plants orbit across another plant orbit?
Using strict modern definitions - none. The orbit of Pluto does cross inside the orbit of Neptune during part of it's journey around the sun, but Pluto is no longer officially a planet - it is a "dwarf planet" or "planetoid".
Why do all the planets in our solar system orbit the sun?
The Sun has such a gigantic mass that it dominates the nearby volume of space.Not all bodies do orbit the Sun; there are comets that get pulled in by the Sun's gravity but then leave the solar system (comest on hyperbolic paths).Many smaller bodies also orbit their parent planets (we then call them moons).What else could the planets orbit around? Part of the definition of a planet is that it orbits the Sun! So planets by definition orbit the Sun! If they did not orbit the Sun they would not be called planets!
