No. Comets tails always point away from the sun. I believe the are a result of the heat and solar winds projected out from the sun which strip material off from the comet as it travels through space.

What body forms a tail as it approaches the sun?
Comets are celestial objects that have tails and move around the sun. When a comet is moving toward the sun, its tail points toward the sun.
What is the point of origin for Halley comet?
it is the time when the tail is facing the north of the other comets like this <halleys tail is north of the other comets when they go > this way
Which way do comets tail point?
It points away from the Sun
What happens when comets near the sun?
A comet's tail lengthens as it approaches the sun due to greater solar winds. A comets tail always faces away from the sun.
Do comets or asteroids have a gas tail?
Comets!
Do the tails of comets point toward the moon?
Only by accident. A comet's tail will point away from the sun.

Why a comets tail always points away from the Sun.?
Does it? 2nd Answer: Of course comets tails point away from the Sun!!! The "tail" is made of varying sizes of ice particles and chunks. The solar wind (a faint outstreaming of solar material) pushes comets' tails out, away from the sun.
How does the behavior of a comets dust tail from a comet ion tail?
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.
What is the point of origin for Halley comet?
it is the time when the tail is facing the north of the other comets like this <halleys tail is north of the other comets when they go > this way
Which way do comets tail point?
It points away from the Sun
How does a comets appearance change as it approaches the sun?
The tail of the comet will become larger, and always point away from the sun. As the comet moves towards the sun, the tail is behind it. As it retreats from the sun, the tail is before it.
What happens when comets near the sun?
A comet's tail lengthens as it approaches the sun due to greater solar winds. A comets tail always faces away from the sun.
Where does a comets tail extend?
A comet's tail will always extend away from the Sun, even when going away from the Sun.
Do comets or asteroids have a gas tail?
Comets!
What direction does a comets tail always points?
Away from the Sun. The tails is caused by the solar wind.
A comets tail points to what?
Away from the sun.
