Revision as of 09:51, 19 January 2025

Comets are objects in the Solar System that exhibit a coma and/or a tail of debris pointing away from the Sun.

For the very few asteroids in this category, a 0-padded 6-digit sortkey should be created from its numerical designation. Otherwise, use its provisional designation. For example:

2060 Chiron would use [[Category:Comets|002060]].
