Physical properties and models of comets.
Abstract
A review is given of modern ideas about the nature of comets based on experimental research results and mathematical modelling. Much attention is given to physical properties of cometary nucleus, gas-dust atmosphere and its evolution depending on insolation intensity when the comet is approaching the Sun. The problem of cometary origin and its connection with problems of general evolution of bodies of the Solar system is discussed.
