IMPORTANCE
• It isimportant to compare and
contrast comets, meteors, and
asteroids in order to identify and
understand these celestial objects
in the outer space.
TAIL EFFECT
• Whena 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
Modeling
Predict the appearanceof comets based on recorded
data of previous appearance.
COMET HALLEY YEAR
First Recorded Appearance
1531
Predicted Year of the Next Appearance
1682
Predicted Year of the Next Appearance
1607
1758
1531 + 76 =
1682 + 76 =
24.
Modeling
The basis ofthe 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.
