Is there ever a shooting star in Texas?
Shooting stars happen every day. You just need to find a place with a nice dark sky and watch patiently. They happen more often later at night, after midnight is best. Also, there are times of year with "showers" in which they are much more common.
First of all it should be How is dust formed.=Well most dust is dead skin infact about 80 to 90% of dust is dead skin that has fallen off us. The other 20 to 10% is most dried up food and some of it is polution.=
How big do comet goldfish get?
Craving the great outdoors and a little excitement? Take a look at these outdoor adventure ideas to get your adrenaline pumping, challenge your fears and experience nature in a new way on your next vacation.
Zip-liningYou can hike through the forest, or you can fly through it! Zip-lining is a thrilling way to zoom through the trees, soar over rivers and span canyons at high speeds. Bring closed-toed shoes, comfortable clothing and all the courage you can muster. A reputable company will provide training, a helmet, gloves and harnesses that keep you safe as you are zooming over the earth's most beautiful natural wonders.
White-Water RaftingIf you prefer to stay a little closer to the ground, try a white-water rafting trip to experience the true power of the world's rivers. All rafters should be in good physical health, be able to fit into a life vest and be able to maneuver a paddle. Dress for the water temperature, not the air temperature, as you will get wet. Class II and III trips are good for beginners but still offer a thrilling outdoor adventure unlike any other.
ParasailingCan't decide between an air or water outdoor adventure? You can have both with parasailing. Start with a boat ride and finish thousands of feet in the air, suspended by a harness attached to a special parachute. Parasailing is usual a gentle ride, but being thrust into the skies will certainly get your heart pounding. The ride ends with you getting dipped in the water, so wear clothes you won't mind getting wet. Don't forget a camera! The views from above the water will dazzle you.
Rock ClimbingChallenge your mind and body on a rock climbing outdoor adventure. Don't let your fears stop you from getting to the top. A good guide will give you all the safety training, gear and encouragement you need. Wear close-toed shoes and long pants to prevent scratches and bruising. The only thing that tops the feeling of reaching the summit is the thrill of rappelling down!
Forget a peaceful trip to the beach or a relaxing weekend in a resort. Leave your limits at home, pack your courage and sense of adventure and challenge yourself to make your next trip an outdoor adventure.
Why do comets leave a trail of white dust behind them?
Comets leave a trail of white dust behind them because as they approach the sun, the heat causes the icy nucleus of the comet to sublimate, releasing gas and dust particles into space. This debris reflects sunlight, creating the bright white trail known as a comet's tail.
When will Halley's comet die out?
Halley's Comet is not really alive; it's just a glob of ice and rocks and dust, falling around the solar system. But even though it is not alive, it will eventually "die", because each pass by the Sun boils away some of the ice, which releases some of the dust and rock.
Some day, the core of the comet's nucleus will become so unstable that it will disintegrate. It probably will not explode, but gas pockets have caused comets to explode before, so it's possible. We don't really know how Halley's Comet is constructed, so we can't give an accurate estimate of its lifespan, but it seems likely to survive for several million years.
When was the last sighting of Halley's Comet in Ontario Canada?
The most standard pronunciation of "Halley" is IPA: /ˈhæli/, to rhyme with "valley". The once-standard alternate pronunciation /ˈheɪli/ (to rhyme with "Bailey") led to rock and roll singer Bill Haley naming his band The Comets. Edmond Halley himself probably pronounced his name /ˈhɔːli/, with the "hall-" rhyming with "call" or "small". The above is from the Wikipedia article. See the link for specific information. I believe that comets are always or almost always visible from all points of the earth, either during their approach to or retreat from the sun.
What major event happened then comet wild 2 appeared?
The major event that happened when Comet Wild 2 appeared was the Stardust mission in 2004 conducted by NASA. The spacecraft Stardust flew close to Comet Wild 2, collected samples of its coma dust, and brought them back to Earth for analysis. This event provided valuable information about the composition of comets and the early solar system.
What comets names start with the letter h?
Two comets that begin with the letter "H" are Comet Halley and Comet Hale-Bopp. Comet Halley is one of the most famous comets known for its periodic return to the inner solar system, while Comet Hale-Bopp was a bright and widely observed comet in 1997.
How often does Halley's Comet appear and when will it be seen again?
Every 75 -76 years, so it will reappear sometime between 2061- 2062
What is an asteroid called when it is burning up in the earth's atmosphere?
A metiorite. I believe what you're talking about is a meteoroid, not an asteroid. An asteroid is rather large, revolves around the sun, and when one hits the Earth, and a few have, it is disastrous. A meteoroid, on the other hand, is much smaller and when it hits the Earth's atmosphere and burns up (due to the friction of the atmosphere) it is called a meteor. After it reaches the Earth's surface, it is called a meteorite. http://dictionary.infoplease.com/meteor merci, have a good day.
Who are two famous congresspeople?

Where was the last sighting of an alien?
Now, let's get serious. There are no aliens known to exist, just a bunch of anecdotes, and no matter how high you stack anecdotes, they never become evidence. We hope there is other life out there, and we consider it likely. But someone has to be the first form of intelligent life in the universe, and there is no evidence that it isn't us.
There are often multiple comets that are visible in the sky at any given time. To find the current location of a specific comet, you can check astronomy websites, apps, or resources like the SkySafari app or the International Astronomical Union's website for the most up-to-date information on comet locations.
When did the comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 collide with Jupiter?
Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 collided with Jupiter between July 16 and July 22, 1994. This was a rare event where a comet broke into multiple pieces due to Jupiter's gravity and each fragment collided with the planet over the span of a few days.
Comets can travel varying distances depending on their orbits. Some comets have orbits that take them far out into the outer solar system, while others have short-period orbits that keep them closer to the sun. Some comets can travel billions of miles during their journey through the solar system.
How fast does space mountain go?
- Magic Kingdom - 28 MPH
- Disneyland - 32 MPH
- Tokyo Disneyland - 30 MPH
- Disneyland Paris - 47 MPH
- Hong Kong Disneyland - 32 MPH
Is a planet different from a star?
Yes it is, and this is because a planet is built up out of the dust that surrounds a star. When a star is formed there is still a disk of gas surrounding it. As this gas cools, it condenses and forms solid grains. These grain particles accrete into large bodies called planetesimals, which then collide and accrete to make protoplanets. These protoplanets evolve into planets like the planets in our own solar system.
It is too difficult to tell. There is no existing average for the velocity of comets, as all comets are different. Gravitional, solar and initial velocity have a lot to due with the velocity of a comet.
Even though there is a great deal of variation, the answer would have to be very, very fast. Fast, that is, compared to earth standards. If a comet were to hit earth, for example, chances are that we wouldn't see or even know that it had hit. It would just hit. Not to scare you. The chances of a comet hitting the earth are slim to none.
Where are comets in the solar system?
From my understanding, comets like to hang out way way past Pluto. Kind of like the asteroid belt. Some comets have 100 - 10,000 year orbit around our sun. But as for your question that's where the majority of the comets are.
The above answer is right, partly. Comets are found just outside of the orbit of Pluto, in the Kuiper Belt. Another place is where beyond the Kuiper Belt though is the Oort Cloud. Hundreds upon thousands of comets are found in the Oort Cloud, which surrounds the Sun and all of the planets.
Comets originate in the Kuiper Belt.
What is the head of a monastery called?
In Western terminology, the head of a Monastery is called an "Abbot." The Eastern term for "Abbot" is "Igumen;" oddly enough, most Abbots of Eastern Orthodox Monasteries, especially on Mount Athos, are "Archimandrites," a more or less honorary title, which is considered as ranking above an Igumen, but has no specific correlation in Western terminology.
Answer2: The English words "abbot" and "abbey" are both derived from the Aramaic ʼab·baʼʹ. Jerome, the translator of the Latin Vulgate, objected to the use of the title "abbot" as applied to the Catholic monks in his time and did so on the basis that it violated Jesus' instructions at Matthew 23:9: "Moreover, do not call anyone your father on earth, for one is your Father, the heavenly One."
Comets move in elliptical orbits around the Sun due to the gravitational pull of the Sun. They can appear to move slowly across the sky as they approach the Sun, and then speed up as they swing around it. The long tails of comets point away from the Sun due to the solar wind pushing their dust and gas particles.
What is the link between meteors and dinosaurs?
the link is that it is a theory that a huge meteor or comet wiped out the majority of the dinosaurs when it impacted on the earth's surface and caused a huge amount of dust to rise into the air and blocked out the sun which meant that the dinosaurs could not breathe and probably froze to death and the impact would have caused an explosion that would be an equivalent to thousands of atomic bombs going off at once I am not totally sure of the facts but this is a start for you...also I think this is a theory and may not have happened at all unless we have testamony from someone who was around back then...sorry about the pun
Comets can travel at speeds ranging from 26,000 miles per hour (42,000 km/h) to over 150,000 miles per hour (241,000 km/h) as they journey through space. The speed at which a comet travels depends on its distance from the Sun and its orbital path.
