Comets and falling stars are two different things, P.  Falling stars are meteors that burn up in the atmosphere as they fall toward earth.

Comets are small bodies made of rock and/or ice in the solar system that actually orbit the Sun and they have a coma and/or a tail which are caused by the effects of solar radiation on the comet's nucleus.

Good job, Callousway. Wiki'd that up?

Maybe not, because I don't take myself too seriously on the internet.

I just like looking at stars, comets, meteors and things like that.  I think they are really cool.  I have a telescope, but of course you don't look at meteors and comets with a telescope.  I saw Halley's Comet the last time it was visible, but it was not as impressive looking as Comet McNaught appears to be.

Comets aren't stars for fucks sake, even meteroites aren't stars. The comet is not falling either because it's no-where near the atmosphere. It seems stationary. Like pencils and rubbers.
