SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -What are comets? Comets are icy balls of gas, dust and rock that orbit the sun. Astronomers believe most comets are leftovers from the formation of the sun and planets. In fact, comets come from the farthest reaches of the solar system, including the Kuiper Belt and the Oort Cloud.

Detailed explanation-2: -Comets have been called “dirty snowballs.” They are small celestial objects, made of ice, gas, dust, and a small amount of organic material, that orbit our Sun.

Detailed explanation-3: -Comet is an icy cosmic ball which orbits the Sun and while coming closer to Sun releases gases.

Detailed explanation-4: -An asteroid is a rocky object that orbits the Sun. Asteroids are smaller than a planet, but they are larger than the pebble-size objects we call meteoroids. Comets are small icy dirtballs that orbit the Sun; comets are made of ice and dust while asteroids are made of rock).

Detailed explanation-5: -The nucleus, or body, of a comet has been described as a dusty snowball consisting of tiny pieces of rocky material embedded in a mass of ice and frozen gases. The nuclei of most comets are believed to range from 1-10 kilometers (.
