Linked from

The 52 pages that link to Comet, each with the reason it gives.

• Kuiper beltRelated: Kuiper belt objects are a source of short-period comets.

• Charles MessierRelated: Messier made the catalogue to keep fixed deep-sky objects from being mistaken for comets.

• Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia MathematicaRelated: The treatise showed how gravitational laws could account for cometary paths.

• Chinese astronomyRelated: Chinese chronicles recorded comet appearances, positions, and forms over many centuries.

• Solar System formationRelated: Comets carry volatile-rich material from cold outer regions into the inner Solar System.

• Planetary defenseRelated: Long-period comets can arrive with less warning than many asteroids.

• Near-Earth objectRelated: Some near-Earth objects are comets whose elongated orbits enter Earth’s orbital region.

• Hyperbolic trajectoryRelated: Some comets enter the Solar System on unbound or nearly parabolic paths.

• Rings of SaturnRelated: Cometary material may have contributed to the rings after a close encounter with Saturn.

• Zodiacal lightRelated: Comets continually replenish dust that can contribute to the zodiacal cloud.

• AstrochemistryRelated: Cometary molecules preserve clues to chemistry in the early Solar System.

• MeteoroidRelated: Cometary activity releases debris that can become meteoroids.

• MeteorRelated: Cometary debris supplies many meteoroids that encounter Earth's atmosphere.

• Minor Planet CenterRelated: The Center also collects and distributes observations and orbital data for comets.

• Solar and Heliospheric ObservatoryRelated: SOHO’s wide-field coronagraphs have discovered thousands of comets passing close to the Sun.

• Meteor showerRelated: Cometary activity sheds much of the debris that forms meteor streams.

• Naked-eye astronomyRelated: Bright comets have appeared as naked-eye spectacles and unexpected visitors in the sky.

• Jan OortRelated: The paths of long-period comets provided evidence for Oort’s distant reservoir.

• Messier objectRelated: Messier’s catalogue began as a practical aid for avoiding confusion with comets.

• Melencolia IRelated: The bright celestial object above the landscape contributes to the print’s unsettled atmosphere.

• Night skyRelated: Bright comets can become conspicuous, changing features of the night sky.

• Tisserand parameterRelated: Orbital comparisons using the parameter became especially useful in distinguishing comet populations.

• Interplanetary dust cloudRelated: Cometary activity continually injects fine grains into the cloud.

• Interplanetary mediumRelated: Comets replenish interplanetary dust and create streams of meteoroids.

• Interstellar iceRelated: Cometary ices preserve related volatile molecules and offer a comparative chemical record.
