Abstract
The paper presents an analysis of the real change in brightness of comet 174P/Echeclus (60558 Echeclus), using the cryovolcanism mechanism. The relationship between the mass ejected during the outburst and the active surface during quiet sublimation is also presented. It has been shown that the mass ejected is one of the key parameters determining the change in the brightness of a comet. This assumption was also confirmed by many years of observations of comets during their outbursts.
