Respuesta :
The greatest amount of potential energy is at the point where the comet is farthest away and the least amount is at the point where it is closest.
This is because the further away it is from the star, the less gravity is acted upon it and thus, it has more potential energy.
As it gets closer and closer to the star, more and more gravity acts upon it and it speeds up, thus having the potential energy converted to kinetic energy.

Comets are frozen remnants of the solar system's origin made of dust, rock, and ice. When the comet is farthest away, it has the most potential energy, and when it is closest to us. It has the least.
What exactly are comets?
Comets are frozen remnants of the solar system's origin made of dust, rock, and ice. They are a few miles to tens of miles broad, but as they got closer to the Sun they become smaller.
When the comet is farthest away, it has the most potential energy and when it is closest to us it has the least.
This is because as it moves further from the start gravity has less of an effect on it resulting in more potential energy.
