2. Comets By: Lisette Shallop

3. Facts:  A comet is a very small solar system body  Comets are usually made up of frozen water  When a comet gets closer to the sun it starts experiencing heat  Comets are usually elliptical (pertaining to)  All comets orbit the sun  A comets core is like a dirty snow ball

4. More Facts:  Comets have their own atmospheres  Comets have 2 tails not 1 tail  Comets leftovers create meteor showers  Comets can come to be extinct or explode

5. Pictures:

6. LOOKS:  Color:  It is a grayish, bluish color  They look like “Dirty Snowballs”  They have a tail called Nucleus  Dry, dusty surfaces

7. Why is a comet important:  They represent the remnant from early in the era of our solar system  Comets provide hints to chemical conditions

8. The Comets Size  The comets size depends on how close it is to. the sun.  A tail also forms when it is closer to the sun.  When it is closer to the sun the ices on the surface vaporize and form a cloud called a coma around the Nucleus.

9. Random Fact of the Day AA comet is a small system body, that when it gets closer to the sun it begins to outgas. It begins to display visible atmosphere or a coma. Even a tail.

10. How Does it Work  The Nucleus is the main, solid part of the comet. It can be as big as 100 kilometers.  The Coma is a halo of evaporated gas, and dust that surrounds the Nucleus. The coma is made up as the comet warms up. It can be 1000 times larger than the Nucleus.  The comets Dust tails always faces away from the sun. It is made up of small dust particles. The dust tail is the easiest part of the comet to see.  Sometimes the Gas tail disappears and comes back when the comet crosses a boundary.
