Comets
Have you ever looked up in the sky and seen a little ball creeping by? If so, did you wonder what it was? That little ball is called a comet. Comets are small, fragile, and irregularly shaped. Most are composed of frozen gas. However, some are composed of frozen gas and non-volatile grains. They usually follow very strict paths around the sun. Comets become most vilsple are saying that the comet is going to Be huge, and others say it will be small. We will never know though because we can not see the nucleus of a comet. The part of the comet we see is the tail. The tail of a comet can be over 10,000 kilometers long.

we have just figured out that we are goind to be hit by comets in 877 years and 11 months, this is a long time away but i think we will be ready by then. the comet that is going to hit us is 0.6 miles across so if we were to go head up with it it would create 10 mile creater.

i know i wrote this essay but i forgot to say that comets can be bigger that mercury. even though mercury isn't really big. this is true because i was on the internet and i came by a site that said that we are most likely going to go by a comet that is bigger than the earth in 2029. this is not all that far away but we still will get a chance to meet this big comet.
