The nucleus is made up of a special dust called fluffy. It is called fluffy because this dust could be as lightweight and full of holes like a sponge. The holes in the dust are filled with ices like water, carbon dioxide (dry ice), and carbon monoxide.

Scientists believe that comets are pieces of dead planets from far far away.
Starting with the "solar nebula", they think a "protoplanetary disc" was formed.
From that came the "planetesimals" which went on to form the planets.
Comets are thought to be some of the planetesimals that were left over.
commets are cool, and heavy, they are produced and form by little cells called hydrolytes, they are in sapce and are fromed over years and years.

Where do comets form?
Comets have two main sources, the Oort Cloud or the Kuiper Belt
What causes comas to form around comets?
solar wind
Why don't asteroids and meteors do not have a coma?
Because they do not have volatiles in them to form a coma as to comets.
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.
Where did comets that are now in the Kuiper belt originally form?
near the radius at which they orbit today
What is the possessive noun for comets?
The singular form is comet, the plural form is comets, the possessive plural is comets'. Example: The comets' paths will not cross.

What are chunks of rock or dust that form comets?
In the "nebular hypothesis", clouds of gas and dust can lead to the formation of "planetesimals". Some of these become comets. So I think the question refers to "planetesimals".
How are meteors asteroids and comets the same and different?
well meteors are usually boiling like comets, however asteroids are usually a formation of gas and ice but they all form in outer space
What do comets and asteroids not have in common?
Comets are Comets and Asteroids are Asteroids
What is a comets presence and form of water?
its a booboo like appearance and smells like leaundra gates
