Comet

= Comet =

A comet is a big ball of ice and as it gets closer to the sun it forms a tail. A comet`s tail is made out of dust and gas. Comets come from a place in the solar system called the Oort Cloud. The Oort Cloud is a large cloud that has small icy objects it orbits around our solar system. Comets leave their home because after 1,000 years some of them bump into each other. Some comets will travel from the Oort Cloud into the inner solar system.

A comet can be seen from Earth. Picture it like your throwing a snowball and most of the snow in the back is flying. You really can`t see the ball, but you can see a white line or streak in the sky. It`s easier to see it at night when the sky is clear of clouds or anything else that blocks the sky.
