How big

is Comet

P67/C-G?

Comet P67/Churyumov

Gerasimenko is 2.7 miles
(4.6 km) long and
2.5 miles (4.1 km)

tall at its biggest.

COMET COLOR
The comet’s
highest point
is more than 12
times the height
of the Eiffel
Tower in
Paris.

In space, the comet
looks pale because it
reflects sunlight in the
darkness. If the comet
were on Earth, it would
appear dark against
our lighter sky.
