Comets are often described as 'dirty snowballs', because they are composed of ice and rocky debris. However, when they approach the Sun in their orbits, many of their constituents become gases. Some of the gases are ionized by the Sun's rays, and form the famous 'tail'.
Rock: asteroid. Liquid: none. Gas: comet.
rock, ice and gas!!
A comet
A comet is made of ice, rock, and dust, and as it approaches the sun, the heat causes the ice to vaporize, releasing gas and dust that forms a glowing tail. This tail is what gives comets their spectacular appearance as they travel through space.
That depends. What are you asking, the parts of a comet or the composition of a comet? For the parts, there is the nucleus, which is the very center of the comet and what it is actually made of, then the coma surrounds the nucleus, then the tail trails behind it. A comet's nucleus is made up of dirty ice and rock. The tail is often made of gas or dust. Sometimes the comet has two tails, one of dust and one of gas. Hope this helps! :)
comet is mostly made out of rock, dust,a nd freezing water
Grains and frozen gas
gas and rocks
It is a comet.
The tail of a comet is made up of dust and gas. The dust tail is composed of particles that reflect sunlight, while the gas tail is made up of ionized gas that is pushed away from the comet by the solar wind.
No. While comets contain some rock, they are mostly made of ice.
Comet tails are made mostly of _____.gas , i think?i got it from someone on wikianswers
