Question

2 difference between orbit of comet and orbit of earth.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Comets orbit the Sun just like planets and asteroids do, except a comet usually has a very elongated orbit. As the comet gets closer to the Sun, some of the ice starts to melt and boil off, along with particles of dust.

Answer 2

The major difference between the orbit of the comet and the orbit of the earth is that planetary orbits are all nearly circular, the comet orbits are highly excentric.

The two key differences between the orbit of the comet and the orbit of the earth are as follows:

1. All orbits around the sun are elliptic, however, the planetary obits look more like a circle, while the comet orbits look more like a stogie (with the sun almost one of the tips). The world's separation from the sun shifts around 5% from nearest to farthest, for a comet we see a factor of 30 times or more.
2. While comets can move in various planes, the planes of planetary orbit lie more or less between a few degrees of the Earth's elliptic orbit.
