What else can I help you with?
What is the region in the Solar System considered to be the source on long-period comets?
The Oort Cloud.
Why are comets considered minor members of the solar system?
Comets are considered minor members of the solar system because they are smaller and less massive than planets and asteroids. They are composed of ice, dust, and rocky material, and often have highly elliptical orbits that take them far from the Sun. Comets are less numerous and play a smaller role in the dynamics and structure of the solar system compared to planets and asteroids.
Are comets older than our solar system?
Comets are made up of remnants from the early solar system, so their age is generally around the same as our solar system, approximately 4.6 billion years old. While some comets may contain even older material from beyond our solar system, as a whole, comets are not older than our solar system.
Who let comets into the solar system?
Nobody let them in. They formed with the solar system.
What are the release dates for Comets Time Capsules of the Solar System - 1981?
Comets Time Capsules of the Solar System - 1981 was released on: USA: 1981

Which comets have visited our solar system?
All the comets that have been seen in history were in the solar system and most still are.

Are comets close to the inner or outer part of the solar system?
I scientifically believe that comets are closer to the outer part of the solar system.
Who let comets into the solar system?
Nobody let them in. They formed with the solar system.
Why are asteroids meteoroids comets and dust considered part of our solar system?
Asteroids, meteoroids, comets, and dust are considered part of our solar system because they orbit the Sun within its gravitational influence. They are remnants from the formation of the solar system and are composed of materials that originated from the same nebula that formed the Sun and planets. Their orbits and compositions provide valuable insights into the early history and evolution of our solar system.
Are there currently any visible comets in your solar system?
There are no visible comets at this time.
What do comets orbit in our solar system?
The sun.
What are the release dates for Comets Time Capsules of the Solar System - 1981?
Comets Time Capsules of the Solar System - 1981 was released on: USA: 1981
Are asteroids and comets left over debris from the formation of the solar system?
Yes, asteroids and comets are considered leftover debris from the formation of the solar system, which occurred about 4.6 billion years ago. Asteroids primarily originate from the inner solar system and are remnants of planetesimals that never coalesced into planets, while comets come from the outer solar system, often from the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud. Both provide valuable insights into the conditions and materials present during the early solar system's development.
Is Halley's comet part of our solar system?
Yes. The solar system is everything that orbits the sun.
