HALLEY’S COMET
CONCLUSION
What are Comets?
Comets are celestial bodies of small mass that
travel around the Sun, usually in elongated orbits.
They become visible as they near the Sun and
sometimes they form a visible tail.
Kuiper Belt
The Kuiper belt occasionally called the
Edgeworth Kuiper belt, is a circumstellar disc
in the outer, solar system extending from the
orbit of Neptune (at 30 AU) to approximately
50 AU from the sun.
The Coma
Expelled water, dust, gas and debris form a
fuzzy haze around the nucleus called the coma.
