SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -We can see a number of comets with the naked eye when they pass close to the sun because their comas and tails reflect sunlight or even glow because of the energy they absorb from the sun. However, most comets are too small or too faint to be seen without a telescope.

Detailed explanation-2: -Comets are small icy dirtballs that orbit the Sun; comets are made of ice and dust while asteroids are made of rock). A meteor is a space rock-or meteoroid-that enters Earth’s atmosphere, as it – burns up upon entering Earth’s atmosphere, it creating a streak of light in the sky (often called “shooting stars").

Detailed explanation-3: -Short-period comets take less than 200 years, and long-period comets take over 200 years, with some taking 100, 000 to 1 million years to orbit the Sun. The short-period comets are found near the ecliptic, which means they are orbiting the Sun in same plane as the planets.
