What causes comas to form around comets?
solar wind
Do comets or asteroids have a gas tail?
Comets!
What shapes the comets tail into a shimmering tail?
a ion tail or a dust tail
How do comets become electrical?
Comets become electrical as they pass nearby the sun. The electrically charged ions form a tail on the comet that helps to propel it away from the sun.
What is a comets tail caused by?
A comets tail is pushed because of the solar wind.

Why the tail of comets increase or deacrese as it goes round the sun?
The tail of the comets is caused by the solar wind - particles blown away form the Sun. When the comet is closer to the Sun, the solar wind becomes stronger.
What shapes the comets tail into a shimmering tail?
a ion tail or a dust tail
Why do the speed of the comets increase as they near the sun?
It gives off gas and dust in the form of a coma and a tail.

What three things are comets made of?
Comets are made of mainly 3 parts -dust tail, ion tail and coma
