Read the following passage and answer the given questions.

We know that the planets of our solar system orbit the Sun.Comets also orbit our Sun,
more than 4000 of them.Most comets circle the Sun very slowly.While the Earth circles the
Sun once a year, many comets take thousand of years to complete just one orbit of Sun.

Comets are made of frozen gases and bits of rock and dust.The solid part of most comets
can be upto 10 miles across. As a comet gets close to the Sun,the heat causes the comets
frozen gases to turn into a cloud of vapour and dust.The cloud can be thousand of miles
across.Solar winds cause this vapour cloud to trail out behind the comet like a tail.This
“Vapor Tail” can be hundreds of millions of miles long.

Sometimes comets are visible from Earth. You might think that when this happens you
would see the comet whizzing across the sky.But in fact it would appear to be
motionless.This is because both the comet and the Earth are moving.
The most famous comet is Halley’s comet.It’s orbit around the Sun takes 76 years.This is
pretty fast for a comet.The next time it will be visible from Earth will be in 2061.
