Answer to Question 1

When the comet passed close to Jupiter in 1992, gravitational tidal forces tore the nucleus apart, leaving it in fragments. On its approach in 1994, it struck the planet. Vibrations in the interior and atmospheric effects lasted for days. Huge fireballs were observed from Earth. Debris from the comet spread completely around the planet, taking years to settle out.
