Comets are icy members of the solar system that originate from either the Oort cloud or Kuiper belt. They travel in elliptical orbits around the sun and are composed of a nucleus of ice and dust surrounded by a coma of evaporated gases and ions. As comets near the sun, they develop two tails - an ion tail pushed away by solar wind and a dust tail curved by sunlight. Periodic comets like Halley's comet have orbits lasting less than 200 years, while long-period comets may take over 200 years or be non-repeating. Comets undergo changes in appearance as they travel from their icy state far from the sun to developing comas and tails when close to the sun.

A comet is an icy small Solar System body (SSSB) that, when close enough to the Sun, displays a visible coma (a thin, fuzzy, temporary atmosphere) and sometimes also a tail. These phenomena are both due to the effects of solar radiation and the solar wind upon the nucleus of the comet. Comet nuclei range from a few hundred meters to tens of kilometers across and are composed of loose collections of ice, dust and small rocky particles. Comets have been observed since ancient times.
Comets have a wide range of orbital periods, ranging from a few years to hundreds of thousands of years. Short-period comets originate in the Kuiper belt, or its associated scattered disc,[1] which lie beyond the orbit of Neptune. Longer-period comets are thought to originate in the Oort cloud, a hypothesized spherical cloud of icy bodies in the outer Solar System. Long-period comets plunge towards the Sun from the Oort cloud because of gravitational perturbations caused by either the massive outer planets of the Solar System (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune), or passing stars. Rare hyperbolic comets pass once through the inner Solar System before being thrown out into interstellar space along hyperbolic trajectories. Exocomets, comets beyond our solar system, have also been detected and may be common in the Milky Way Galaxy.[2]
Comets are distinguished from asteroids by the presence of a coma or a tail. However, extinct comets that have passed close to the Sun many times have lost nearly all of their volatile ices and dust and may come to resemble small asteroids.[3] Asteroids are thought to have a different origin from comets, having formed inside the orbit of Jupiter rather than in the outer Solar System.[4][5] The discovery of main-belt comets and active centaurs has blurred the distinction between asteroids and comets (see asteroid terminology).
As of January 2011 there are a reported 4,185 known comets[6] of which about 1,500 are Kreutz Sungrazers and about 484 are short-period.[7] This number is steadily increasing. However, this represents only a tiny fraction of the total potential comet population: the reservoir of comet-like bodies in the outer Solar System may number one trillion.[8] The number visible to the naked eye averages roughly one per year, though many of these are faint and unspectacular.[9] Particularly bright or notable examples are called "Great Comets".

A powerpoint presentation on comets. A comet is an icy, small Solar System body that, when passing close to the Sun, warms and begins to release gases, a process that is called outgassing. This produces a visible atmosphere or coma, and sometimes also a tail.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Comets Hand out (i Made)
1. COMETS, METEORS AND METEORITES
Carolyn Grande: BEEd IIIA General
Comet
is an icy member of our solar system
were named for their appearance. Both the Greek word kometes and
the Latin word cometa mean “long-haired.”.
Comets travel in elliptical orbits around
the Sun and follow the basic laws of physics.
They are not supernatural signs at all.
SIGNIFICANCE OF COMET
They are probably the only objects
left that are made out of the original material from Figure 1: Comet’s Orbit
which the whole solar system formed about 5 billion years ago.
Earth, Moon, and other celestial bodies have all been changed by tectonicprocesses, erosion, or
numerous collisions. Only comets remain basically asthey were in the beginning.
1. Nucleus
The nucleus contains most of the comet's mass but is
very small (about 1 to 10 km across - or more).
made of mostly water ice and other frozen gases (the
“snow”) loosely mixed with stony or metallic
solids (the “dirt”).
It has very low density and surface gravity.
2. Coma
Cloud of evaporated ices and ions may be 100,000 km in
diameter
the roughly spherical blob of gas that surrounds the
nucleus of a comet.
Figure 2: Structure of a Comet
3.Tail
Always points away from Sun
TYPES:
a. Ion tail: A tail of charged gases (ions) always faces away from the sun because the solar wind
(ions streaming from the sun at high velocities) pushes it away (it is also called the plasma
tail)
b. Dust tail: a long, wide tail composed of microscopic dust particles that are buffeted by photons
emitted from the Sun; this tail curves slightly due to the comet's motion. The tail fades as
the comet moves far from the Sun.
ORIGIN OF COMETS
Comets are usually have 2 PERIODS:
1. LONG-PERIOD COMET
are those that take more than 200 years to revolve once around the sun or may be a tangent and
never come back again. Usually, these comets come from the Oort cloud.
This expansive cloud of maybe over 3 trillion comets encompasses our solar system 18 trillions
miles away from the sun and is believed to be the remains during the creation of the solar
system.
2. 2. SHORT-PERIOD COMET:
comets that have a revolution around the sun in less than 200 years – are believed to have come
from the Kuiper Belt.
This belt, located beyond the orbit of Neptune, is also believed to be remnants during the
creation of the universe and acts as a reservoir for short term comets. One such comet is the
Halley's Comet. After numerous perihelion passages, periodic comets finally lose all their
volatile material. only fragments of nonvolatile solids may survive.
PERIODIC COMETS
Astronomers have catalogued about 150 short-period, or periodic comets, that have periods of
revolution around the Sun of a few years or decades up to 200 years.
They shine periodically in the sky every time they come close to the Sun.
The most consistently bright and most famous is Comet Halley, with 30 consecutive perihelion
passages recorded since 240 B.C.
Sighted telescopically for over three years before and after its February 9, 1986, perihelion
passage, Comet Halley is also the best-analyzed comet so far.

FIVE CHANGES OF APPEARANCE THAT A COMET UNDERGOES AS IT TRAVELS IN ITS ORBIT
AROUND THE SUN
(1) (2) (3) (4) (5)
Figure 3: Comet Halley on seven different days as it receded from the Sun after its apparition in 1910.
(1) Far from the Sun, a comet consists of a nucleus of frozen gases and dust.
(2) Coma forms as a comet approaches the Sun.
(3) Close to the Sun, tails form.
(4) After going around the Sun, much cometary material refreezes.
(5) Far from the Sun again, coma and tails are gone.
