Question:
What is the gravitational field intensity and temperature of a comet?

Replies:
Dear Alyvia,

Although comets have some gravitational field, they do not have very much. You could probably jump off a comet and into deep space without too much trouble. A comet has enough gravity to cause surface "volcanic-type eruptions" releasing gas and dust into its tail.

Hope this helps.
