<h2>Right answer: Comets have very elliptical orbits that usually take them far beyond the orbit of Pluto, but also take them closer to the Sun than Earth</h2>
Comets are celestial bodies constituted by ice, dust and rocks that orbit around the Sun, after having been altered by the Oort cloud; following different trajectories that can be <u>highly eccentric elliptical</u><u> </u>(periodic trajectories), parabolic or hyperbolic.
One of the main characteristics of a comet is that it travels quite fast, on its way around the Sun and has a long tail. It should be noted that the tails of comets always go in the opposite direction to the Sun (due to the radiation pressure of sunlight).
Therefore, the correct option is C.
A star with large luminosity would have a relatively low absolute magnitude. Absolute magnitude is a number that tells how bright a star is from the Earth. However, this scale is backwards and logarithmic, so having a large absolute magnitude value means that the star is faint.
