Right now, on March 20, 2011? There is none. The frozen core of Halley's Comet is drifting away from the Sun, and is out past the orbit of Neptune and slowing down. In about 10 years, Halley's Comet will reach aphelion (the farthest point in its orbit) and slowly begin to fall back inward. The comet probably won't develop any kind of tail until it gets in about to the orbit of Jupiter; that will be around 2055 or so.
What else can I help you with?
What is the point of origin for Halley comet?
it is the time when the tail is facing the north of the other comets like this <halleys tail is north of the other comets when they go > this way
Do comets or asteroids have a gas tail?
Comets!
What are celestial comets?
Celestial comets is a more formal name for comets. Comets are objects in space orbiting the Sun with long orbits. They are thought to be made of frozen water. As they near the Sun they produce a long glowing tail trailing behind.
What is a star with a long tail called?
A star with a long tail is typically referred to as a comet. Comets are icy bodies that release gas and dust as they approach the Sun, forming a glowing coma and a tail that points away from the Sun due to solar wind and radiation pressure. The tail can appear quite elongated and is one of the most distinctive features of comets.
What three things are comets made of?
Comets are made of mainly 3 parts -dust tail, ion tail and coma
This has a tail when it is near to the sun?
Comets
What did the tail of comet points?
A Comets tail points away from the sun.
What mass of material with a long tail travels around the sun?
The mass of material with a long tail that travels around the sun is called a comet. Comets are composed of ice, dust, and small rocky particles. The tail of a comet is formed when it gets closer to the sun, and the heat causes the ice to vaporize and create a glowing tail. The mass of a comet can range from a few million kilograms to billions of kilograms.
Are there any comets other than Halleys comet?
Yes, there are many comets other than Halley's comet. Comets are icy bodies that orbit the Sun and often have elongated orbits that bring them close to the Sun. Some well-known comets include Hale-Bopp, Comet NEOWISE, and Comet Lovejoy.
Why do comets develop a tail?
because of their velocity
A comets tail points is where?
Away from the Sun.
What is a comets tail hardly made of?
gas
