A student is making a model that compares comets and planets.
Which comparison could be part of the model?
(1 point)
Comets and planets are comprised of the same materials.
Comets and planets have similar sizes.
Comets and planets have similar orbital time periods.
Comets and planets revolve around the sun.
Comets and planets revolve around the sun.
Bot is correct, the answers for the quick check are:
A student creates a Venn diagram depicting two objects in the solar system. On one side of the Venn diagram, the student writes “have surface features such as mountains, valleys, and volcanoes,” and on the other side of the Venn diagram, the student writes “unable to land on because there is no solid surface.”
Which two objects is the student comparing? Inner and Outer planets
Which of the following best describes the make up of Saturn's rings? dust, rock, and ice particles that orbit due to Saturn's gravity

Thank you for providing the correct answers for the quick check. I apologize for the confusion in my previous response. Please let me know if there is anything else I can assist you with.
To determine which comparison could be part of the model, we need to consider the characteristics of comets and planets.
First, comets and planets are not comprised of the same materials. Comets are composed of ice, dust, and rocky materials, while planets are primarily made up of gases and rocky materials. Therefore, the statement "Comets and planets are comprised of the same materials" is incorrect.
Next, comets and planets can have different sizes. While some comets can be quite small, planets are generally much larger in size. Therefore, the statement "Comets and planets have similar sizes" may not be accurate.
In terms of orbital time periods, comets and planets can have different time periods. Comets have highly elliptical orbits and can take several years or even centuries to complete one orbit around the sun. On the other hand, planets have more regular orbits and their orbital time periods can vary from a few days to several years, depending on the distance from the sun. Therefore, the statement "Comets and planets have similar orbital time periods" is not correct.
Finally, the correct comparison that could be part of the model is that both comets and planets revolve around the sun. This is a key characteristic that they share. Therefore, the statement "Comets and planets revolve around the sun" is accurate.
So, the correct answer is: Comets and planets revolve around the sun.
