The effect would be minuscule ... imperceptible and essentially unnoticeable,

a lot like a collision between Earth and a few tons of meteoroids.

- - Neptune's diameter is a little more than 2000 times the comet's diameter.

- - Neptune's mass is a little more than 465 billion times the comet's mass.
