A comet is basically small, rocky,
and icy and revolves around the sun. When a comet passes close to the sun
some of the ice turns to gas. This gas and some loose dust creates a long,
bright tail that trails behind the comet
If a comet was to hit the earth, it would cause some serious damage.
As an example even if something relatively small in size hit the earth,
it would cause great damage. Small from an comet's point of size is around
200 metres in diameter and if this was to hit an ocean it would create
devastation to all cities within a large radius.
