Which planet is the source of light that makes a comet visible?
From Earth it would be the Sun, which, however not a planet, but a star
What is a comet's relationship with Earth's moon?
There is no relationship whatsoever between Earth's moon and any comet.
What makes a comet seem larger than the sun?
A comet can appear larger than the sun when it is closer to Earth and has a larger visible tail. The tail of a comet can extend for millions of miles, creating the illusion of a bigger size compared to the sun when viewed from our perspective on Earth.
Name the comet that came close to earth in 1986?
The name of the comet seen in 1986 is Halley's Comet. You can see it every 75-76 years, and is the only short period comet that is clearly visible to the naked eye from earth, and thus the only naked-eye comet that might appear twice in a human lifetime.
What makes a comet look like a comet?
by its shiny blue trail.
Did a comet fall to earth?
we are not sure.
Dose a meteor or comet fall quickly fall to earth?
Comets, while visible in the sky, do not normally fall to Earth. Meteors do fall towards Earth very quickly.
How can differentiate a meteor from a comet when viewed from Earth?
comet moves slowly and appears in the sky for a longer time. meteor moves swifty and seems to fall on the ground.
How true that in 2010 the earth will destroy by a comet?
I doubt that the earth will be destroied by a comet in 2010. The earth was suppose to end and get destroied back in 2001 but that never happened. What makes this time so different? I wouldn't worry about it.
Why don't the rocks from tail of a connet fall on the earth?
Sometimes they do; that's what a "meteor shower" is. The point is that all of the rocks and dust given off by a comet, and the head of the comet too, travel the way gravity and the light pressure of the Sun force them to. The head of the comet is freely falling towards the Sun. (if a comet gets close enough to a planet, the gravity of the planet becomes significant, and sometimes the comet will collide with the planet; look at Shoemaker-Levy 9, which hit Jupiter in 1994.) As the heat of the Sun begins to melt the ices of the comet, gas and dust escape from the comet. Because the gas molecules and dust particles are very light, the pressure of the Sun's light pushes them away from the comet; this forms the "tail" of the comet. Over the course of thousands of orbits, the gas and dust spreads out to fill in much of the orbit of the comet. Where the Earth's orbit intersects the comet's orbit, we see annual meteor showers.
Why might comets destroy us?
If a comet hit the Earth hard enough and went through the core, the whole Earth could fall apart.
Which planet is the source of light that makes a comet visible?
From Earth it would be the Sun, which, however not a planet, but a star
Which is the largest the earth the sun or the a comet?
The sun is the largest out of the three and then the earth and then a comet.
What comet visited earth in 1986?
comet sandy
What happens if comets falls on the sureface of earth unburnt?
It cannot escape the laws of physics, entry into the earths atmosphere will cause it to burn. But once a comet enters the earths atmosphere, it is no longer a comet but becomes a meteoroid blazing across the sky as a meteor. If it makes it makes it to Earth, it then becomes a meteorite.
What is the name of the comet that will pass earth in August 15 2011?
The name of the comet that will pass Earth on August 15, 2011, is the comet Honda.
When will the comet will hit the earth again?
We don't currently know when a comet will hit planet Earth.
