The comet was last detected on August 27.8 by J. F. J. Schmidt (Athens), at which time it was too faint for position measurements. The comet was then 1.30 AU from Earth and 1.81 AU from the sun. ]]> 2017-10-18 22:13:05 UTC https://padlet.com/s_marissa_washington/6md571bl97u3/wish/198475195 s_marissa_washington https://padlet.com/s_marissa_washington/6md571bl97u3/wish/198477524 As a comet approaches the Sun, solar heating starts to vaporize the ices, releasing gas that forms a diffuse luminous sphere, called the coma around the comet nucleus.]]> 2017-10-18 22:29:50 UTC https://padlet.com/s_marissa_washington/6md571bl97u3/wish/198477524 s_marissa_washington https://padlet.com/s_marissa_washington/6md571bl97u3/wish/198477724 Once a meteoroid enters the Earth's atmosphere and vaporizes, it becomes a meteor if it hits the ground that's called a meteorite ]]> 2017-10-18 22:30:56 UTC https://padlet.com/s_marissa_washington/6md571bl97u3/wish/198477724 s_marissa_washington https://padlet.com/s_marissa_washington/6md571bl97u3/wish/198478543 The Solar System formed around 4.6 billion years ago]]> 2017-10-18 22:37:00 UTC https://padlet.com/s_marissa_washington/6md571bl97u3/wish/198478543 s_marissa_washington https://padlet.com/s_marissa_washington/6md571bl97u3/wish/198478600 The Sun contains 99.86 percent of the Solar System's known mass, with Jupiter and Saturn making up making up most of the rest.
