Yes they are made up of gas, ice, and dust. The long tail is a mix of gases. and remember a comet is different than an asteroid

What is made of ice dust and gas?
Comets.
Are comets made of ice?
Ice, dust, gas, and maybe a few other substance particles.
Is comets are made of ice rock and dust?
Comets are made mainly from ice, with a slight mixture of small rocks and dust.
What elements or compounds are found in comets?
Ice, rock, gas, and dust. I think it is made out of water, ammonia, methane, carbon dioxide, rock, and metallic material
What does the comets consist of?
Comets are made of rock, dust, ice, and frozen gases. When comets approach the Sun, the frozen gases explosively sublime, forming the comet's coma (nebulous central mass) and scattering dust and ice into the solar wind. Lighter dust and photo-dissociated water molecules create the "tail" of the comet, which solar photons push outward in the direction away from the Sun.Samples were retrieved from the comet 81P/Wild (Wild 2) by NASA's Stardust mission in 2006.

What small objects are made of ice and dust asteroids comets meteors or meteorites?
Some comets are made of ice and dust.

What is an object made of ice dust and rock that orbits the sun?
Mars is the member of the solar system made out of ice and gas because it has ice caps in the bottom and top and it's surface is covered with dust and Mars has 95% of carbon dioxide and that is a gas so yes Mars is made out of all of those things. If this answered your question your welcome :)

What is halleys comet made of?
All comets, we believe, are composed of a lot of ices such as frozen carbon dioxide, nitrogen, oxygen, water, and other gasses, with a lot of dust and some rocks. Science fiction writers Jerry Pournelle and Larry Niven described a comet as a "dirty snowball".
What is each 4 main parts of a comet made of?
The dark colouration of the nucleus can be observed, as well as the jets of dust and gas erupting from its surface.. Nucleus Albedo Layer of Dust
What interstellar objects are made out of dust and ice?
Comets, though they may contain other elements.
How and why do comets change their appearance as they come closer to the sun?
Comet are made of rock and ice. The tails are made of dust. Therefor as it approaches the sun the ice begins to sublimate and the dust begins to disperse.
