They come from the Kuiper Belt and the Oort Cloud. After around 500 passes, they lose most of their ice and gas content and eventually turn into something close to an asteroid.]]> 2016-09-21 16:20:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kittywright9/ojin09vp7p9f/wish/125472367 kittywright9 https://padlet.com/kittywright9/ojin09vp7p9f/wish/125476998 2016-09-21 16:30:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kittywright9/ojin09vp7p9f/wish/125476998 kittywright9 https://padlet.com/kittywright9/ojin09vp7p9f/wish/125480084 According to Swinburne University in Australia, the difference between these two types of comets is that Halley-type comets have orbits that are "highly inclined to the ecliptic" and likely come from the Oort Cloud, whereas Jupiter-type comets are more affected by the gravity of Jupiter and originate from the Kuiper]]> 2016-09-21 16:38:04 UTC https://padlet.com/kittywright9/ojin09vp7p9f/wish/125480084
