धूमकेतु
Dhoomketu
A comet is a big ball of ice and dust that travels through space. When it gets close to the Sun, it can create a bright tail that we can see from Earth.
You say 'comet' like this: 'kom-it'.
The word 'comet' comes from the Greek word 'komētēs', which means 'long-haired'. This is because comets look like they have long tails when they are near the Sun.
The word 'comet' in Hindi is 'धूमकेतु' (Dhūmaketu).
The word 'comet' in Kannada is 'ಧೂಮಕೇತು' (Dhūmakētu).
Imagine a bright, shiny star zooming across the night sky! Just like the colorful creatures in Eric Carle's books, comets are special and unique.
They are made of ice and dust, and when they get close to the sun, they light up and create a beautiful tail. If you look up at the sky, you might just spot one!
So, grab your crayons and draw your very own comet, bright and colorful, just like in a Carle story. Remember, the sky is full of wonders waiting for you to discover!
