What does COMET mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small body of ice, dust and rock that orbits the sun and develops a glowing tail as it approaches the inner solar system.
As a comet nears the sun, heat vaporizes some of its ice, releasing gas and dust that form a glowing coma around the nucleus and a long tail that always points away from the sun. Most comets travel on highly elongated orbits that carry them far into the outer solar system between appearances, which is why some are visible from Earth only once in a human lifetime. Famous comets such as Halley's Comet return on predictable schedules and have been recorded by astronomers for centuries.
