it would be B.Comets are not ever visible from Earth.

Comets travel very fast, loop around the Sun, and have long tails. A comet is a chunk of material left over from the formation of the solar system. ... Because the comets are much smaller and lighter than planets, they are easily pulled this way and that by the gravity of the planets (or, in some cases, even by stars).

Yes. All of the comets in the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud are part of the solar system. They orbit our Sun, and obey the same laws of motion as the planets and their moons. Comets also started with the same materials that planets like Earth were made from.

Halley's Comet, for example, is usually very bright when it passes through the inner Solar System every seventy-six years, but during its 1986 apparition, its closest approach to Earth was almost the most distant possible. The comet became visible to the naked eye, but was unspectacular.

As a comet approaches the Sun, it starts to heat up. The ice transforms directly from a solid to a vapor, releasing the dust particles embedded inside. Sunlight and the stream of charged particles flowing from the Sun – the solar wind – sweeps the evaporated material and dust back in a long tail.

What does a subscript indicate in a chemical formula?
timofeeve [1]
Chemical formulas are used to describe the types of atoms and their numbers in an element or compound. The atoms<span> of each element are represented by one or two different letters. When more than one atom of a specific element is found in a molecule, a subscript is used to indicate this in the chemical formula.</span>
