What do we see comets as?
From the earth we see comets as shooting stars, because theres a tail to it.
How does a comet's appearance change as it approaches the sun.why do these changes occurs?
Far out in space, the comets tail is short. As it approaches the Sun, the heat melts away some of the ice covering the surface. As it evaporates into space, a tail is formed behind the comet. Always, the tail is facing away from the sun. This is why, when we see comets, their tails are almost as long as they get.
How is a tail made on a comet?
Comets commonly develop two tails, a vapor trail, which we can see, and a gas/dust trail, which we may or may not be able to see. The tail develops when the heat of the sun causes the ices in the cometary nucleus to vaporize off. The tail always points directly away from the sun.
How does comet look like what is it made of?
They have a tail, nucleus (the physical mass that is flying through space). Here s the astronomical sign for comets: ☄ There are most recognizable by their hair like tail. Looking up to the sky on a starry night you see a comet streaking through the heavens. It looks like a small fuzzy ball with a long hair-like tail. Other times a comet looks like a white streak. There are three main characteristics to a comet's appearance which are: the nucleus, the coma, and the tail. The nucleus is the solid central part of the comet. This is the actual mass that is traveling through space. The nucleus of a comet is dark, is potato-shaped in many comets, and resembles a dirty iceberg. A comet coma forms when the nucleus evaporates and a large cloud expands around the comet center. This cloud is called the coma. This spherical cloud gives the comet the appearance of a fuzzy ball. The most recognizable characteristic of a comet is its tail. The comet tail also forms when the nucleus evaporates, releasing gas and dust. Both the gas and dust form their own distinct tail. The trail of dust is left behind the comet in its orbit forming a curved tail called the anti-tail or dust tail. The ion tail of a comet is composed of gases and points towards the sun. A comet's tail is what comets are known for. Without a tail it would just look like a spot of light moving across the sky. Comets can be many different colors including silver, blue, purple and gold at the end of their tail. Comets are usually blue or white at the front part. The color of the comet depends on its distance from the sun.

Does Uranus have comets?
No. Planets do not have comets. They are not related to planets. They are just objects flying through space that we can see in the sky.
Which celestial objects usually has a tail?
None. Comets have a tail, but that's not "usually", only when they are close to the Sun (which is when we see them, of course). Most of the time, when they are far away from the Sun, they have no tail. The tail is caused by the solar wind.
Does Mars have tails?
In the sense that an observer can see tails on comets - no, the gravity and composition of Mars is not favorable to the production of a tail.
