COMETS, ASTEROIDS,
METEORS
LEARNING COMPETENCY
• Compare and contrast
comets, meteors, and
asteroids.
IMPORTANCE
• It is important to compare and
contrast comets, meteors, and
asteroids in order to identify and
understand these celestial objects
in the outer space.
Celestial Objects
• Celestial
Objects are
sometimes
referred to as
Near-Earth
Objects.

COMET
• COMET is made up
mostly of ice mixed
with dusts, and rocks.
• Its main body, the
NUCLEUS, contains
frozen methane,
ammonia, and water
ice.

ORIGINS OF COMETS

and

TAIL EFFECT
• When a comet is heated
by the sun, its ice begins
to sublimate. The mixture
of ice crystals and dust
blows away from the
comet's nucleus in the
solar wind, creating a pair
of tails.
DUST TAIL and PLASMA/GAS/ION TAIL
COMET'S ORBIT
Elliptical Orbit
Perihelion - closest
point in a comet's orbit
to the sun.
Aphelion - farthest
point in a comet's orbit
to the sun.

Modeling
The basis of the prediction is simply by adding 76 on the
previously recorded year of apearance of the Comet
Halley.
It takes 76 years for the Comet Halley to orbit around the
sun.
