Will Kyogre appear again if you flee?

No, you will only get one chance of catching it. I suggest you to save the game before you fight Kyogre, so that you can restart your Nintendo if you fail.

What is a comet and are there any heading towards earth in the near future?

A comet is a ball of ice and dust that passes "near" the sun during part of its orbit, which heats it to the point that it outgasses and blows of part of its mass on each orbit, forming a sort of streamer or "tail".

There are lots of comets. The periodic meteor showers we get are debris from comets that have mostly disintegrated. We don't know of any big showy periodic comets like Halley's (usually, its most recent appearance was rather disappointing) due to make an appearance in the near future (unless you consider half a century "the near future). However, there's always hope.

(If by "heading towards Earth" you mean "will hit Earth causing disastrous results" then the answer is no. This can happen, but it's extremely rare and there's no real reason to think a significant impact will occur anytime soon.)

What comet occurs the most?

encke's comet that appears every 3.3 years

What substances make up comet Halley?

Comet Halley is mainly composed of dust, water ice, carbon dioxide, ammonia, and methane. It also contains various organic compounds, such as hydrocarbons, cyanides, and amino acids, which are thought to be the building blocks of life.

How do comets from the oort cloud differ from those found in the kuiper belt?

Comets are thought to have either originated from the Kuiper belt or the Oort cloud. The Oort cloud is much further out than the Kuiper belt, so comets with much longer periods are thought to originate from here, while shorter period comets are thought to mainly originate from the Kuiper belt. The Oort cloud extends as far out as 50,000 AU or nearly one light year from our sun - this is roughly where the boundary is for our solar systems gravitational influence. Passing stars and the gravitational effect of our galaxy are thought to dislodge objects from this hypothetical field of object, causing long term comets such as Halley's comet to enter into an eccentric orbit around our sun. The Kuiper belt, by contrast, extends from about 30 AU to 55AU. Generally speaking, the comets will be similar in composition, but those originating from the Oort cloud may have much longer periods and orbits.

How can you recognize a comet from other celestial bodies?

The following would be seen during extended observations of a comet:

-- The object is not shown on charts or maps of the sky. It has appeared where

no permanent object was previously seen.,

-- Its proper motion is significant. It moves among the background "fixed" stars

from one night to the next.

-- Computation of its orbit based on several observations places it inside the

solar system, on a path that is either hyperbolic (open) or else elliptical with

large eccentricity, probably highly inclined to the ecliptic plane.

-- Computation of its orbit also indicates its distance. Once that's known,

and its brightness is measured, its size can be calculated, and it's found

to be very small ... like a few tens of miles in diameter.

-- As the object moves closer to the sun, it becomes brighter, which is to be

expected. But it also becomes larger and fuzzier, as if some surface material

is boiling off, enclosing the solid center in a large, wispy, fuzzy ball.

-- Eventually, the fuzzy envelope begins to elongate, grow away from the

center, and stream out away from the object appearing as a 'tail' or stream

of 'hair'. At first, the fuzz appears to drift off behind the object as the object

moves away from it. But as the path curves and the object eventually swings

around the sun and away from it, it's seen that the shape of the fuzzy envelope

and the 'tail' has nothing to do with the object's motion ... it simply always points

away from the sun, as if some kind of wind from the sun were blowing it away.

Does comet cleanser kill germs?

Comet cleanser is a powdered cleaning product that is abrasive and mainly used for scrubbing and removing stains and grime. While it can help remove dirt and grime from surfaces, it is not specifically designed or marketed as a disinfectant to kill germs. It's recommended to use a separate disinfectant product to kill germs effectively.

How long does it take for a comet to come back with water?

Comets typically take hundreds to thousands of years to return to the inner solar system and replenish Earth with water. The specific time it takes for a comet to return depends on its orbital period and distance from the Sun.

What year was hale bopp first seen?

Hale-Bopp was first discovered in 1995. It became visible to the naked eye in May 1996 and remained visible until December 1997.

What is the interval of the appearance of Halley's comet?

You can't see Halley's Comet at any time of the day or night now. It was last seen from Earth in 1986 and won't be seen from Earth again until 2061. It orbits the Solar System, taking about 75 to 76 years to do so, so it can only be seen about that often from Earth.

Are the brightest comets those closest to the sun or those farthest from the sun?

The brightness of a comet is not determined by its distance from the sun, but rather by factors such as the size of its nucleus, how recently it has passed close to the sun, and how much dust and gas it is releasing. Therefore, the brightest comets can be found at various distances from the sun.

What causes the formation of comets tail?

The tail of a comet is formed by ice and dust that is blown off by solar winds from the nearest star. That is why the tail will always point away from the star no matter what direction the comet is traveling.

What is the name of a satellite orbiting is space made of rock and ice and has a tail always pointing away from the sun?

That would be a comet. Comets are celestial objects composed of rock, dust, ice, and frozen gases that orbit the sun in highly elliptical paths. When they come closer to the sun, they develop a glowing coma and a tail that always points away from the sun due to solar wind.

When we will see Haley's comet?

Halley's Comet is visible from Earth roughly every 76 years. The next predicted appearance is in 2061. It was last visible in 1986.

Can a comet go a light year in 1 second?

No. A light year is the distance light travels in a year, and nothing can travel faster than light. Therefore, the quickest that anything could travel a light year is 1 year. A comet travels much slower than light.

What did Halley's Comet have effect on people?

There's nothing all that special about the comet itself other than that it happenes to be the first one that was successfully predicted. Halley realized that several of the comets reported in historical accounts were probably the same object orbiting the sun with a period of about 76 years and predicted its return (unfortunately, the period was long enough that he died before seeing his prediction came true).

Are globular clusters small asteroid-like bodies that formed the building blocks of the planets?

No, globular clusters are large groups of stars that formed together at the same time. They are much larger and contain thousands to millions of stars, unlike small asteroids, and were not the building blocks of planets.

What folk legends surround parsley?

was dedicated to Persephone, the wife of Hades and goddess of the underworld. Parsley is slow to germinate. Folk legend explains this characteristic with the myth that parsley must first visit Hades seven times before it may freely germinate

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 are 3reasons comets are interesting to astronomers?

Because people think that comets are cool and they have bright lights and fire and you can make a wish too also because they are interesting to watch maybe some people are scared but they are still interesting!

Does a comet appear as a streak in the sky?

No. The 'tail' that you see in those beautiful comet photos gives the impression

of great, whooshing speed. But when you see a comet, you don't see it move.

With even the ones that move fastest through the sky, you have to wait several

minutes before you can recognize that it's in a slightly different position among

the stars that are near it.

The stars in the sky rotate over your head faster than comets typically move

through them.

Is a comet smaller than asteroid?

An asteroid is basically a rock in space.

A meteor is basically a space rock falling into our atmosphere.

Therefore, meteors are asteroids that are falling into our atmosphere, there is no size comparison, only a location and action change.

Where do Comets with extremely elliptical orbits like comets Hyakutake and Hale-Bopp come from?

Comets with extremely elliptical orbits like Hyakutake and Hale-Bopp are believed to originate from the Oort Cloud, a distant region in the outer solar system. The gravitational influence of passing stars or giant planets can disturb their orbits, sending them on long journeys toward the inner solar system. Once they get close to the sun, the heat causes the comet's volatile substances to vaporize, creating the characteristic coma and tail.

What are some possible fates of comets?

Comets can be captured by planets, ejected from the solar system, or collide with a celestial body such as a planet or star. Some comets may break apart or disintegrate due to the effects of gravitational forces and their volatile nature.

Is kermillian comet real and if it is when will it occur now?

There is no known celestial object named the "kermillian comet." It is possible you may be referring to a fictional comet from a book or movie. If you provide more context, I can help clarify further.
