The coma is the cloud of gas and dust that surrounds the nucleus of a comet. This is caused by the Sun heating the icy surface of the comet, which sublimates into gas and throws off dust. Some comets have small explosions, almost like eruptions, when a particularly dense pocket of gas erupts from the nucleus.
The dust and gas, being so light, is carried away by the solar wind to form the tail of the comet. It's an interesting fact that the tail of the comet always points AWAY from the Sun, so on its way out into space, the comet is actually moving tail-first.

What is a blur of electrons around the nucleus of an atom called?
What is a blur of electrons around the nucleus of an atom called?an electron cloud. not neutron
What is the heart of a commet called?
The heart, or center of a comet is called the nucleus. The nucleus is made of a solid piece of ice surrounded by a cloud of particles and gases.
Which subatomic particle or particles are fund in a cloud outside of the nucleus?
These particles are called electrons.
What type of charge does the cloud surrounding the nucleus possess?
It isn't a physical cloud, it is the area electrons orbits are found in. While this is true, it is actually called an "electron cloud" because the electrons that spin around the nucleus are spinning around it so fast.
Which is more dense the nucleus or the electron cloud?
nucleus
What is a large cloud of dust and gas which escapes from the nucleus of an active comet?
The coma.
The cloud around the atom's nucleus contains its?
The cloud around an atom's nucleus is called an electron cloud. An electromagnetic force binds electrons inside an electrostatic potential well, which surrounds the nucleus.
What is active database and cloud database?
The database we use in our daily life is called as active database . The data that is stored in the database which is further stored on the cloud is called cloud database.
What is the area surrounding nucleus of atom called?
Electron Cloud
What are found in the space surrounding the nucleus of an atom?
The space around the nucleus of an atom is called the electron cloud. The electron cloud is the space in which the electrons of that atom travel. Compared to the nucleus, the electron cloud is enormous.
What is a blur of electrons around the nucleus of an atom called?
What is a blur of electrons around the nucleus of an atom called?an electron cloud. not neutron
What are the region around the nucleus where the electrons are located called?
electron cloud
Where are the nucleus and electron cloud?
nucleus is in the middle and the electron cloud is around it
Where are the protons located in?
The protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus of the atom. The nucleus is located in the center of the atom. The nucleus is surrounded by what is called the electron cloud.
What is the area around the nucleus wheere the electrons move called?
electron cloud
What is the heart of a commet called?
The heart, or center of a comet is called the nucleus. The nucleus is made of a solid piece of ice surrounded by a cloud of particles and gases.
Which particle of an atom is in a cloud space?
We understand that the electron is the particle that is found in what is called the electron cloud around the nucleus of an atom.
