Comets are cosmic snowballs of frozen gases, rock and dust that orbit the Sun. When frozen, they are the size of a small town. When a comet's orbit brings it close to the Sun, it heats up and spews dust and gases into a giant glowing head larger than most planets.Comets are believed to have two sources. Long-period comets (those which take more than 200 years to complete an orbit around the Sun) originate from the Oort Cloud. Short-period comets (those which take less than 200 years to complete an orbit around the Sun) originate from the Kuiper Belt.

When there is little damage, it relies on the testimony of people who felt the earthquake, which may vary and is ultimately subjective to people's perception.

The Mercalli Intensity Scale ranges from "Not felt" to "Catastrophic" going through 12 scale intensities.
