What DO comet tails originate from? They are formed when the sun causes gas and dust to leave the comet, and are then swept away by solar winds. This is why that no matter which direction a comet is traveling, it's tail is always pointed awY from the sun.
All comets have tails when their proximity to the sun is such that the icy debris in the comet is warmed enough to melt and fall away from the comet.
Comet tails are made of ice and dust.
The Comet plasma is created by solar wind. The Comet plasma enables scientists to discover and understand what the solar wind is doing and is very useful.
Both of the comet tails are pushed away by the light and solar wind that is always streaming out of the Sun. This means the tails always point away from the Sun. The dust tail may curve a bit, but the plasma tail points directly away, so that the two tails may seem to form a "V".

Because the comet is going so fast there looks like the comet has a tail.
