Comets

A tailwind is a wind that blows in the same direction as the movement of an object, such as an aircraft or a vehicle. It can enhance speed and fuel efficiency by providing additional thrust. In aviation, tailwinds are advantageous during takeoff and landing, as they reduce the distance required for these maneuvers. Conversely, a headwind blows against the direction of travel and can hinder performance.

yes

The shape of a comet's path is an oval.

If u are an eighth grader, your science teacher will recommend u to use the word "ellipse" instead of oval ~ Thank You.

or "elliptical"

Early Man first noticed comets. Comets were around long before humans.

I am not sure exactly for how long you can see it. However, for most of its orbit, it is very far away, and therefore - and because it is a fairly small object - it is very faint.

Comets are composed of a mixture of ice, dust, and gases. The main gases found on a comet are water vapor, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and methane. These gases are released as the comet gets closer to the Sun and heats up, causing the ice to sublimate.

Bill Haley played the steel guitar, tenor banjo, and double bass as a member of Bill Haley and His Comets. He was primarily known for his role as the lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist in the band.

Meteoroids are small pieces of rock moving through space.

Meteorites are meteoroids when are large enough that strikes Earth surface.

A comet is made of ice and other materials and its tail points at the strongest point of gravity along its path. That means that while the tail will point in the direction of the sun most of the time, if it were to pass near a planet where there was a strong attraction it would point o wards the planet until the suns gravity was stronger again.

The comet's 'tail' always points away from the sun.

Comets originate from the Oort cloud, a spherical shell of icy bodies at the outer edges of our solar system. These comets can be perturbed and sent into the inner solar system where they become visible as they approach the Sun.

That is actually a very good question. I know this is not very much but I don't think nothing much would happen.

By sending space probes into the solar system and beyond, we are able to gather information close to planets that we would not be able to obtain through observations from earth. The probes are able to take and transmit pictures back to earth which are much more detailed. We have been able to detect objects we would not see from the earth and are able to gather more detailed information on the atmospheric composition and properties of various planets and moons.

yes, a specific name of a comet is a proper noun.

comet is a short vowel

The force of gravity. All those objects have a force acting between them and the Sun. For the less massive objects the force is less, but mass and force are proportional so the force produces an acceleration that depends only on the object's distance from the Sun.

All the objects in orbit would travel in a straight line without a force acting on them, but the pull of the Sun causes them to accelerate or curve continuously towards the Sun. This is a consequence of the law of gravity and the laws of motion, discovered in the late 1600s.

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, which includes both speed and direction.

The commet is slowest when it is least near a body mass ( planets etc. ) when it is near a body, it will either be taken in and crash on it, or it will get sucked in by Its gravity but the gravity will not quite be strong enough to take it in And the body will "fling" the asteroid. However... Most comets are no bigger than a basketball therefore it creates no extreme damage to earth... The chance of your house getting hit by one is 1/1937419038538764 percent

Any comet visible from earth is in orbit around the sun.

If the orbit is closed (elliptical), the comet will return after some period of time. If the orbit is open

(parabolic or hyperbolic), the comet will escape the solar system and never return to the neighborhood.

Edmund Halley himself has not been seen since he was buried in the graveyard of the old church of St. Margaret, Lee, England.

The comet that bears his name, Halley's Comet, was last seen by the public in 1986. However, the comet was on the far side of the Sun, and very few people were able to see it at all.

Halley's Comet was last seen through the Very Large Telescope array at Paranal, Chile, in 2003. Halley's Comet will next appear in 2061, when it should be much more visible than it was in 1986, and the 2134 pass is expected to be VERY close to Earth. Too bad we won't be around to see it!

Astrology is the "science" of predicting the future from events that occur in the heavens (watching stars, comets, planets, etc.). Traditionally comets are considered harbingers of (warnings of future) major events. Halley's comet in 1066 was considered to be the warning of the Normans defeating the Saxons at the battle of hastings.

From Earth it would be the Sun, which, however not a planet, but a star

Comets.

There are none. By definition, a supersition does not have a scientific basis.

Ryves Comet was discovered by P.M. Ryves, an English amateur astronomer, on August 14, 1931.
