A. What are Comets? B. Comet Creation C. Comet Voyages D. Comet Impacts Q: What are Comets? . . . A: Comets are the delivery system to the universe of the new elements being created in stars. What are comets made of? Small stars convert hydrogen into helium, then TWO STEPS, adding more helium each step to make each new heavier element. This is obvious when we examine what we see around supernovas.Stars become unstable and explode, flinging bits of planets and the new elements into space at 1/10th the speed of light
Cosmic winds blow the clouds around, concentrating them with gravity's help.the light elements combine and freeze as various ices. Heavy chunks become the core segments - copper, gold, lead, iron, various salts - become planets, then are blasted apart again.

Comet Impacts Meteor impacts are small. . . . Tiny - 10 Ft. >|< 10 ft - 100 miles . . . Asteroid impacts are large. They impact at speeds varying from 50 mph - 50 mps. Comets are very different. They are HUGE and are composed of meteors, asteroids, and frozen gases. They collide at speeds varying between 50 mph and 1/10th the speed of light! (depending on how far they have traveled from creation to collision.) On colliding with Earth, they must pass through a lot of atmosphere before making contact. Their exteriors have already warmed from sunlight. Air Friction warms them even more. As huge as they are, the air is compressed between them more and more with each passing second. Assume a comet 100 miles in diameter traveling at 20 mps. That is a lot of air AND a lot of compression! Add the comet surface water expanding 2000 times as it turns to steam. THAT IS A LOT OF AIR BRAKING! Instead of a normal impact, it is more like hitting two cymbals together, or dropping a water balloon on a pond. It is a shrouded steady increasing of compression. It can move equal mass blocks of mass. It can collapse voids in rocks. If the voids contain liquids like water, oil, or magma, it can force the liquid to escape through the nearest exit passage. Reverberations can continue for hundreds of years.
