One tail is gas, and the other ice. The darker, colored tail is gas, and the white easy-to-see tail is ice.

What three things make up a comet?
That depends. What are you asking, the parts of a comet or the composition of a comet? For the parts, there is the nucleus, which is the very center of the comet and what it is actually made of, then the coma surrounds the nucleus, then the tail trails behind it. A comet's nucleus is made up of dirty ice and rock. The tail is often made of gas or dust. Sometimes the comet has two tails, one of dust and one of gas. Hope this helps! :)
What object has a tail made of gases and dust?
A comet is an object that has a tail made of gases and dust.
What is a comet gas cloud?
comaThe tail. This is comprised of whatever the comet was made of, but is now being burnt off by the sun. ( the tail of a comet always points away from the sun.)
What does a comet's ion tail consist of?
An ion tail is made of electrically charged particles and a dust tail is made of dust. Also, an ion tail will always point away from the sun because of the solar winds, while a dust tail tends to follow the comet's orbit and doesn't always point away from the sun.
Gives comets their tails?
The tail of the comet is made up of melting ice. When the comet gets close to the sun, the melted ice becomes the gaseous tail.

How does a comets tail form?
It is formed from gas and ice and dust. A comet is from a asteroid belt. It is between Mars and Jupiter and is home to many comets. The tail of a comet is made up of gas and dust and ice. Comet means long haired star because its tail is so long.
What is a tail of a comet made out of?
A comet actually has two tails, one of dust (the visible one) and one of ionized gas. The dust tail is affected by the sun's gravity, and may be slightly curved. The ion tail always points directly away from the sun in response to the Solar wind.
How does a comet begin?
The comet's tail is in front of the comet, not after
What are the parts of a comet after it forms a tail?
The coma, the nucleus, and the tail are the parts of a comet after the tail has formed.
When was In the Tail of a Comet created?
In the Tail of a Comet was created on 2000-04-25.
