Comets

The fire makes it shine,and really bright too!But beware they can really hurt you!So if you see a comet you have about a 0.1%chance to survive and that's only if your at the edge of where the comet is going to land!

The time it takes for a comet like Halley's to travel from its farthest point (aphelion) to its closest point to the Sun (perihelion) and back again can vary, but generally it takes about 76 years to make one orbit.

A comet's tail points away from the Sun. This happens because the solar wind pushes the comet's gas and dust particles away from the Sun, forming a tail that always points in the opposite direction of the Sun.

Here in our own solar system, the four inner planets are rocky; Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.

Beyond our solar system, we've detected over a thousand planets, but we're unable to discover any details about the surface. As far away as they are, I'm still amazed that we can discover that they exist!

Yes, comets are often considered storehouses of chemicals. They contain a variety of compounds such as water ice, carbon dioxide, ammonia, and methane. Studying these chemicals can provide insights into the early solar system and the origins of life on Earth.

Most meteorites come from asteroids, which are rocky bodies orbiting the sun. Some meteorites could also come from comets, which are icy bodies. Both asteroids and comets can collide with Earth, resulting in meteorites.

The Grandview Comets are a fictional team in the television show "Friday Night Lights." They are a high school football team located in the fictional town of Dillon, Texas. The show follows the team's struggles and triumphs both on and off the field.

A daredevil comet is a comet when in the place where the comet is, you are assinged to defeat someone that you have already defeated. But the difference is that you have to do this with only one chance.

The first recorded observation of Mars dates back to ancient times, with records of its movements and appearances found in Babylonian and Egyptian texts. Comets have been observed throughout history, with the earliest recorded sightings documented by ancient Chinese astronomers around 1000 BC.

Comets have highly elliptical orbits that can take them far from the Sun for long periods of time. This means that some comets may only be visible from Earth every few decades or even centuries when they come close enough to the Sun to be seen.

Rock fragments traveling in space are called meteoroids. When a meteoroid enters Earth's atmosphere and burns up, it creates a streak of light known as a meteor or shooting star. If any part of the meteoroid survives and reaches the Earth's surface, it becomes known as a meteorite.

HayleysComet will come about 2061!!!!!!!!!!!! It last came in 1986.

The European Space Agency's Rosetta spacecraft was the probe that closely studied a comet's nucleus. It visited Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko in 2014 and deployed a lander, Philae, to study the comet's surface.

Before it's last encounter in 1996, it was a mere 17,000 years.

However, because of gravitational interference it is now 72,000 years.

So if you saw it in 1996 - well done - you won't see it again.

first of all its in OUR solar system because its not owned my someone in particular. there is NO purpose for a comet... its just interesting and beautiful to us. it does not harm of do anything to us. its just... there!

A comet's ion tail consists of ionized gas molecules and atoms that have been stripped of their electrons by the Sun's ultraviolet radiation and solar wind. This ionized gas forms a long tail that points away from the Sun due to the pressure of the solar wind.

Maria Mitchell discovered a comet by observing it through a telescope on the night of October 1, 1847. She was the first American woman to discover a comet, now known as "Miss Mitchell's Comet." Her discovery brought her recognition and established her as a respected astronomer.

Comet Halley was discovered by English astronomer Edmond Halley in 1705 from England.

Halley's Comet never comes to Earth. The comet - as with all astronomical bodies - follows its own orbit, falling endlessly through the solar system.

Halley's Comet is currently a little further from the Sun than the orbit of Neptune, moving very slowly outward from the Sun. It will linger there, reaching the peak of its orbit in about 15 years, before beginning its long slow fall back into the inner solar system.

The last time that comet hale bopp was here was around 1996 and 1997.

Comets with parabolic orbits typically enter the solar system once and then leave, never to return. Their orbits are influenced by the gravitational pull of the Sun and other celestial bodies, causing them to follow a path that resembles a parabola. Once they pass close to the Sun, they gain enough speed to escape the solar system.

sometime in April of 2061

Comets are often referred to as "dirty snowballs" or "icy mudballs" due to their icy composition mixed with dust, rock, and organic compounds.

there isnt any

it is the time when the tail is facing the north of the other comets like this <halleys tail is north of the other comets when they go > this way
