To find out how far the comet will travel in 10 hours, we need to determine the comet's average speed per hour and then multiply it by 10.

We know that in 4 hours, the comet travels 8,000 miles.

So in 1 hour, the comet travels 8,000 miles / 4 hours = 2,000 miles.

Therefore, in 10 hours, the comet will travel 2,000 miles/hour x 10 hours = 20,000 miles.

Therefore, the comet will travel 20,000 miles in 10 hours.
