How can a comet become the source of meteoroids and meteors?

Comets are made out of rock and ice, looking like dirty snowballs in space. The ice alone, is not only made of water, but also carbon dioxide, methane, and other things. As a comet approaches the sun, it melts and leaves behind bits of rock to orbit the sun. Soon earth will collide with its orbit and meteoroids and meteors form.

I really hope this helps!

What is a constellation as astronomers define it today? What does it mean when an astronomer says, “I saw a comet in Orion last
MissTica

Explanation:

Constellation: The complete sky has been divided in 88 different areas, in a way we have divided Earth in countries, not necessarily having same shapes and size. These 88 areas are known as constellations. These contains a lot of stars. When we join the brightest stars together we can imagine a shape out of them which is called as Asterism. Most of the people are unaware of this difference. Some of the famous constellations are Orion, Taurus, Gemini, Hydra, Ursa Major etc.

When an astronomer says that there is a comet is in the Orion, he means that a comet is in the boundaries of Orion constellation.

The beginning development of a star is marked by a supernova explosion, with the gases present in the nebula being forced
GenaCL600 [577]

The beginning development of a star is marked by a supernova explosion, with the gases present in the nebula being forced to scatter. As the star shrinks, radiation of the surface increases and create pressure on the outside shell to push it away and forming a planetary nebula or white dwarf.

For the different values given for the radius of curvature RRR and speed vvv, rank the magnitude of the force of the roller-coas
nirvana33 [79]

Explanation:

The force of the roller-coaster track on the cart at the bottom is given by :

F=\dfrac{mv^2}{R}, m is mass of roller coaster

Case 1.

R = 60 m v = 16 m/s

F=\dfrac{(16)^2m}{60}=4.26m\ N

Case 2.

R = 15 m v = 8 m/s

F=\dfrac{(8)^2m}{15}=4.26m\ N

Case 3.

R = 30 m v = 4 m/s

F=\dfrac{(4)^2m}{30}=0.54m\ N

Case 4.

R = 45 m v = 4 m/s

F=\dfrac{(4)^2m}{45}=0.36m\ N

Case 5.

R = 30 m v = 16 m/s

F=\dfrac{(16)^2m}{30}=8.54m\ N

Case 6.

R = 15 m v =12 m/s

F=\dfrac{(12)^2m}{15}=9.6m\ N

Ranking from largest to smallest is given by :

F>E>A=B>C>D
