A comet is a lump of rock and ice. Spacecraft have flown by comets. A comet only has a tail when it is near the sun. Most comets come from the Kuiper belt. A comet has actually been witnessed hitting a planet. Most comets have short orbital periods.

A comet is a tiny, frozen entity in the Solar System that heats up and starts to emit gases as it approaches the Sun. This process is known as outgassing. This results in an apparent atmosphere or coma, and occasionally a tail as well. These occurrences are caused by how the solar wind and solar radiation interact with the comet's nucleus.

The size of comet nuclei varies between a few hundred meters and tens of kilometers, and they are made up of loose clumps of ice, dust, and tiny rocky particles. A comet's orbit is typically very eccentric and elliptical, and its orbital period can range from a few years to possibly millions of years.

name two types of earthquake waves and explain how scientists use them to study Earth's interior???? PLZ HELP
sergey [27]
Maybe this willl hellp"
Seismic waves are sent through the earth during earthquakes, and those energy waves are what cause the ground to shake as they travel through it.Seismic waves travel at different speeds when they pass through different types of material, so by studying seismograms, scientists can learn a lot about Earth's internal structure.Body waves are seismic waves that travel through Earth's interior, or its 'body.' Surface waves are seismic waves that travel through Earth's surface.Surface waves are important, but they don't provide much information about what happens below the surface. For this, we need to study body waves so that we can see what Earth's 'body' is like.

There are two types of body waves, called P waves and S waves. P stands for primary waves because these waves travel the fastest and are detected first. S stands for secondary waves because these are slower than P waves, arriving second on the seismogram.

  • The protostar is a new star that is formed at the end of the Hayashi track and is luminosity temperature relationship of infant stars that are less than M 3. The protostar ends its period and becomes a Tauri star that is extremely luminous.  
  • After which the main sequence of the stars are formed is the next stage in stellar evolution and is dependent on its mass like the sun after this period the star turn red as it has a hydrogen-rich core and it starts to branch out displaying extreme density.
  • The last stage is the white dwarf star as the star has degenerate and left is the exhaust core which is very dense.
