Why comet travels more quickly on its orbit when it is closer the sun?
the comet moves fastest near the sun because the gravitational movement pulls it quickly and gets rid of the rock and ice on the tail
Does a comet's tail always point 180 degrees away from its direction of travel?
Yes, a comet's tail always points away from the sun due to the solar wind. As the comet travels in its orbit, the pressure of the solar wind pushes the gas and dust in the tail away from the sun, creating the iconic tail that points in the opposite direction of the comet's movement.
A tail still exists in the direction of the sun when a comet moves away from the sun?
No, a comet's tail always points away from the sun regardless of the comet's direction of movement. This is due to the solar wind pushing gas and dust particles away from the comet's nucleus, creating the tail that always faces away from the sun.
The tail of a comet is longest when the comet is?
The tail of a comet is longest when the comet is closest to the sun, as the sun's heat causes the comet's icy surface to vaporize, creating a bright glowing tail that streams away from the comet.

What is the type of comet which appears over the earth every 76 years?
It is called the Halley's comet
What is a usual type of orbit of a comet?

type 2
What is Difference between comet and Halley's comet?
Because it is one of the best known comets in the world.Comet Hale-Bopp (formally designated C/1995 O1) was arguably the most widely observed comet of the twentieth century, and one of the brightest seen for many decades. It was visible to the naked eye for a record 18 months.
How do scientists predict comet movement?
Almost all known comets follow an elliptical or circular path. This means that, over time, they return to our solar system at regular intervals. Astronomers identify each comet, and track its movement while it's in our 'neighbourhood' - then use the data to predict when it will next return.
Why comet travels more quickly on its orbit when it is closer the sun?
the comet moves fastest near the sun because the gravitational movement pulls it quickly and gets rid of the rock and ice on the tail
What is on a kindergarten entrance exam?
It has everything from advanced root trinomial functions pertaining to real life physics. They have to be able to use these skills to calculate the movement of a comet. They will be given certain conditions about the comet.
Where can you find information on comets?
online (type in "comet info" at www.google.com)
What is the milky way a type of comet or planet?
Neither ! It's a galaxy !
Why dont comets leave the solar system instead of returning?
If the comet has enough movement energy, it might leave the Solar System forever. Otherwise, the Sun's gravity will eventually slow it down, and the comet will return.
