Comets

In 1966 a comet on april 25 pass'ed over my head, going to us as 35 mph approx, I told the hayden planetium and he thought i was nut, till his freind remind'ed him the next day he would'nt shut up, you can get a copy at the 42 nd street library mjcrow film, to us it was the size of a volks wagon ,but they it was the size of a foot ball,Im sorry the paper's said it was gowing 35 m.p.s , hell no i have a peace in my head , like a peace of sand, if you seen andromiter strain # 2 the sattelite was going 35 m.p.s.,In space there is no such thing as a strait line , halley's go's out 27 and a half years then it makes a u-turn, then 27 /1/2/ years to come bsck 75 years I just hope the asteriods dont follow that rout

No. A meteor is the streak of light caused by a space rock passing through the atmosphere. IF the rock survives and hits the Earth, it is a meteorite. A meteor isn't the chunk of rock; it is the streak of light.

Its a quote from Julius Caesar by Shakespeare. The scene centers around Calpurnia (Caesar's wife) pleading for Caesar to not go to the forum. A storm the day before was savage and had many strange anomalies occur during it, such as a tiger appearing on the steps of the capital. Calpurnia says this line to warn Caesar that she fears he may die, also noting that she had a dream where Roman citizens danced in his blood. Ultimately, a member of the group planning to assassinate Caesar arrives and twists the images, with the outcome being Calpurnia allowing Caesar to leave.

Comet Encke's density is estimated to be very low, around 0.6 grams per cubic centimeter. This low density is due to its composition of ice, dust, and rocky material, which is less dense compared to solid rock.

Comets and asteroids can potentially impact Earth, causing damage due to the energy released upon impact. They can also bring valuable resources to our planet, such as water and metals. Additionally, dust and gas released by comets passing close to Earth can affect our atmosphere and climate.

Comets are called 'comets' because of a Greek origin. The words was derived from the Greek word 'kometes' or 'stars with hair,' and was then changed in Latin to 'cometes,' which is where the English spelling is derived from.

No, it is extremely unlikely for a comet to hit Earth on a daily basis. Comets are rare and tend to orbit far from Earth's path. The chance of a comet collision with Earth is very low in a given timeframe.

A cometâ??s structure consists mainly of a rocky material that is considered to be remnants from the creation of the universe. Other than gases like ammonia, there are also water and ice that holds together the structure of a comet.

No, it was last seen from Earth in 1986, 10 years before that, though it was observed in 2003 by what is known as the Very Large Telescope, which is a set of telescopes with great power, that are in Chile.

The comets orbiting Jupitor in the Kuiper Belt are controlled by Jupiters gravity pull. It was thought that Jupitor would keep Earth safe from these many massive comets but it is now known that Jupitor does not always cross the path of them and they get out of the orbit as was the case with Showemaker Levy-9.

According to the Irish legend's in the 1700 Eva was a local girl. When a comet was threatening to hit earth everyone panicked. Except Eva. She went to the cliffs where Bella would become a mermaid 290 years after and produced a tower of light which spared everyone since the comet moved on. Eva was never seen again. The girls think she might have swam away although it is not said what happened to her. I find that she probably died by falling off the cliff. The comet was named after Eva for she spared everyone but probably died in the process.

We believe comets have a composition like a dirty snowball. They contain alot of ice and dust. The ice does trun into a gas when the comet approaches near to the sun and this causes the comet's tail to form.

Astronomers have since calculated the period of Comet C/1811 F1, also known as the "Great Comet of 1811" or sometimes "Napoleon's Comet" in honor of his military conquests, to have a period of 3065 years.

So, our distant descendants might expect it to return in the year 4876AD, assuming that in the year 2650 they don't send out a collector ship to bring it home and mine it to give the Moon an atmosphere. By then, we'll probably be able to do that. And we'll want the space. Just imagine the lunar golf courses! :-)

Comet Hale-Bopp had a peak magnitude of around -1.0 in March 1997, making it one of the brightest comets observed in the 20th century.

Asteroids are minor planets, especially those of the Inner Solar System. However, between the orbital paths of Mars and Jupiter lie a region known as the asteroid belt. Many asteroids come from there, but most of them stay there.

Short-period comets originate from the Kuiper Belt, just outside the orbit of Neptune, while long-period comets are thought to originate in the Oort cloud.

No, many thousands - probably MILLIONS - of people had observed what we now call "Halley's Comet" in the thousands of years before Edmund Halley realized that this was probably ONE comet coming back MANY times at regular intervals. Halley "predicted" that the comet would return to become visible again, and named the year - and he was right.

In his honor, and long after his death, the comet was named for him.

An ion tail is made of electrically charged particles and a dust tail is made of dust. Also, an ion tail will always point away from the sun because of the solar winds, while a dust tail tends to follow the comet's orbit and doesn't always point away from the sun.

A.) magnetic north and south poles

B.) north magnetic pole

C.) north pole

D.) north and south poles

E.) south magnetic pole

these are the options ^^

They have to orbit the sun or orbit a planet. This means they are if they are in the Galaxy.

halley's comet is smaller than the earth because ,if it is smaller than the moon it will surely be smaller than the big earth.many comets are bigger than the earth also.

Comets are typically larger than meteors because they are made up of a combination of ice, dust, and rocky material that can span several kilometers in diameter. Meteors, on the other hand, are small rocky or metallic fragments that originate from asteroids or comets and are typically only a few millimeters to a few meters in size.

Halley's Comet has a nucleus (solid center) estimated to be about 9 miles (15 kilometers) wide. The most recently verified sighting of Halley's Comet was in 1986.

Since the halley comet appears every 75-76 years, and was last seen in 1986, it is easy to calculate when it appeared, or will appear again. So, the data you have seams incorrect. Next, it wil appear in the Solar system in the early summer (Europe) in 2061
