As a comet nears the sun, a tail forms from the solar wind blowing off dust particles from the comet. The tail lengthens as the solar wind intensifies and the comet approaches closer and closer. In some cases, comets have been known to collide with the sun, fragment, or completely burn away due to the sun.
