A body of ice gases and dust theat orbits the sun and often has a long tail is?
it is a metor and they are made of gas ice and dust
Balls or ice dust rocks and gases form these?
They are known as comets.
What is the ice and dust that orbits the sun?
The particles of dust and ice that orbit the sun are called comets. They are small solar system bodies which when close enough to the sun, they display a temporary atmosphere.
What is a loose collection of ice dust and small rocky particles that typically has a long narrow orbit?
A comet.
What are the Rings of Jupiter made?
Jupiter's rings are made of gas and dust.Dust, rock, ice...
What are Saturn rings made of?
Saturn's rings are made of dust, ice, and rock.
How can you define the word comet for homework?
The mass of ice and dust orbiting the sun.
What do comets contain the most of?
Comets consist of mostly dust and ice, along with some carbon dioxide, methane, ammonia and other things. It starts out as an icy body and as it moves closer to the sun, it creates a tail that has gases and dust.
What is a mass of gases dust particles and stars located in space called?
simple and easy a comet a comet has a solid center nucleus that contains rock particles trapped in frozen liqud this forms the tail: as it moves closer to the sun the "outer ice" turns to gas and the solid particles (pieces) turn to dust

Balls or ice dust rocks and gases form these?
They are known as comets.
What composes the Saturn's rings?
Mostly ice particles, dust particles, and some other chemicals.
Are comets made of ice?
Ice, dust, gas, and maybe a few other substance particles.
Is a meteoroid made of dust rock particles and frozen gases?
Yes, all of these, plus water ice, can be constituents of meteroroids (tiny asteroids orbiting the Sun).They are also the substances that comets are made of, as evidenced by their decomposition as the gases are heated by the Sun. Comets are defined by the long tails of material explosively ejected from the comet bodies.The exact mix is determined by the type of meteoroid and its orbit. Those in the outer solar system are more likely to contain higher percentages of ice and frozen gas. These volatiles are less present in the objects orbiting the inner solar system, due to solar heating.
What things rotate around the sun?
planets, rocks, asteroids, comets, dust particles, ice particles..
When the ice in the comets nucleus vaporizes it leaves only small what?
Dust particles
Why are comet sometimes called dirty snowballs?
Because... they're mainly composed of ice and dust. When they get close enough to be affected by the Sun - the stream of particles forming the 'tail' is formed from ice crystals and dust particles.
