ABSTRACT
Although people have studied comets for a long time and used spacecraft
to detect comets in a short distance, the formation time and causes of comets
are still unresolved. Therefore, according to the formation and evolution law
of planets and the dynamic mechanism, the author thoroughly revealed the
formation and evolution of comets: A powerful storm cyclone on Neptune, such as
the Great Dark Spot, can involve a large number of clouds. These clouds are
gradually cooled and compressed in the process of rapidly sinking along the
spiral path, and then condense into huge water ice crystals at the bottom of
the cyclone; When such a crystal falls into a deep hole filled with liquid
hydrogen, it is easy to collide violently with the boulders in the hole, and
instantly ignite the liquid hydrogen in the hole. Under the strong push of
high-pressure gas, some fragments of the ice crystal can quickly reach a very
high initial speed. Especially when the jet direction of the Great Dark Spot is
consistent with the direction of Neptune’s revolution speed, such fragments can
quickly reach Neptune’s escape speed of 23.56 km/s. Therefore, the fragments
can break away from Neptune and enter an elliptical orbit around the sun,
becoming a comet. Similarly, when the metal hydrogen at the bottom of a Great
Red Spot on Jupiter explodes in a series, the fragments ejected from the Great
Red Spot can reach the escape speed of Jupiter of 60 km/s, therefore, such
fragments can break away from Jupiter and enter the elliptical orbit around the
sun to become comets. Many of these comets can become asteroids in the asteroid
belt, which is the formation principle of the asteroid belt.
