part of speech: noun
definition: A comet is a round object in space made up of ice and dust. Comets travel around the sun. Sometimes when they get close to the sun, the comet heats up and forms what looks like a long, bright tail made of gases and dust. When this happens, some comets can be seen from the earth.
Last summer, I stayed at my uncle's farm and one night I saw a comet fly across the sky!
