Does an asteroid produce a tail when the sun warms its surface?
Yes, an asteroid can produce a tail when its surface is warmed by the sun, but this phenomenon is more commonly associated with comets. When an asteroid, particularly a porous one with volatile materials, gets close enough to the sun, the heat can cause these materials to sublimate, releasing gas and dust that form a tail. However, most asteroids do not exhibit this behavior since they lack significant volatile substances.
