Additional
Information: Comets orbit the Sun in either the
Kuiper Belt or the
Oorg
Cloud, which are located far past
the
planets. They will come close to the sun once in a
while if their orbit is distrubed by some large mass, such as Saturn or
another gas giant. Comet Lovejoy isn't expected to return for 8000 years. |
