Do comets orbit in a circular or elliptical pattern

Geography
1 answer:
Lelu [443]3 years ago
8 0

The correct answer is - elliptical.

The comets, just like the planets, have elliptical orbits. Their orbits though tend to be much more narrow and stretched ellipses than those of the planets. Because of the elliptical orbits, the comets are much closer to the body they are orbiting around in certain periods, but also much further away at other periods.

The comets are characterized and best known for their ''tails''. They do not have elongated shape though, but instead they have a rounded shape, but because they have amount of ice on them, as they move, particles of ice are stripped away from it. Those particles of ice are trailing behind the comet for certain time, and that is what we actually see as a tail of the comet.

These areas are created when land erosion and a high water table have allowed some of the water to percolate to the surface.
Licemer1 [7]
The appropriate response is Oasis. It is shaped from underground streams or aquifers, for example, an artesian aquifer, where water can achieve the surface normally by weight or by man-made wells. Periodic brief rainstorms give underground water to manage common desert gardens, for example, the Tuat. Substrata of impermeable shake and stone can trap water and hold it in pockets, or on long blaming subsurface edges or volcanic barriers water can gather and permeate to the surface.

Why are astronauts (and other objects) weightless inside the International Space Station as it orbits Earth?
nordsb [41]
