QUÉ SIGNIFICA COMET EN INGLÉS
Cometa
Un cometa es un pequeño cuerpo helado del Sistema Solar que, al pasar cerca del Sol, se calienta y comienza a salir, exhibiendo una atmósfera visible o coma, ya veces también una cola. Estos fenómenos se deben a los efectos de la radiación solar y del viento solar sobre el núcleo del cometa. Los núcleos del cometa varían de unos cientos de metros a decenas de kilómetros de diámetro y están compuestos por pequeñas colecciones de hielo, polvo y pequeñas partículas rocosas. El coma y la cola son mucho más grandes, y si lo suficientemente brillante puede ser visto desde la Tierra sin la ayuda de un telescopio. Los cometas han sido observados y registrados desde tiempos antiguos por muchas culturas diferentes. Cometas tienen una amplia gama de períodos orbitales, que van desde varios años a varios millones de años. Cometas de corto plazo se originan en el cinturón de Kuiper o su disco disperso asociado, que se encuentran más allá de la órbita de Neptuno. Se cree que los cometas de más largo período se originan en la nube de Oort, una nube esférica de cuerpos helados que se extienden desde el exterior del Cinturón de Kuiper hasta la mitad de la siguiente estrella más cercana. Los cometas de largo período se dirigen hacia el Sol desde la nube de Oort por las perturbaciones gravitatorias causadas por las estrellas que pasan y la marea galáctica.
definición de comet en el diccionario inglés
La definición de cometa en el diccionario es un cuerpo celeste que viaja alrededor del sol, generalmente en una órbita altamente elíptica: se cree que consiste en un núcleo sólido congelado que se vaporiza al acercarse al sol para formar un coma luminoso gaseoso y un largo y luminoso cola.
