Comets

Definition of Comets as it relates to Science, Astronomy, Astrography

Comets are icy bodies that originate from the distant outer regions of the solar system. When they come close to the Sun, they vaporize to create an atmosphere or coma, and dust and gas form a tail that points away from the Sun. The study of comets is crucial for understanding the origin and evolution of our solar system. Comets can be found in the Astrography hierarchy under Astronomy and Science, providing valuable insights into the universe's mysteries.
