Halley's commet compared to the sun















The size in diameter of Halley's commet is 1024 km and the sun has a diameter of 1,400,000 km
The sun is much bigger than Halley's commet therefore Halley's commet fits 1367 times into the sun.

The sun is bigger than Halley's commet even though Halley's commet tail extended to 30 million km.


1024 diameter

  1. I thought that your blog was very interesting. I had no idea that Halley's comet's tail was over 30million km. I thought that the spelling and grammar was very good. I also liked your pictures. I would have also maybe would have added the mass comparison.
