What are 3 parts of a comet?
The three main parts of a comet are the nucleus (solid core made of ice and dust), coma (gaseous envelope surrounding the nucleus), and tails (two types, ion tail composed of ionized gas and dust tail made of dust particles).
What three things make up a comet?
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! :)

What is the name of the celestial body with a nucleus composed of dust and rocky fragments and ice and which forms a luminous diffuse tail when near the sun?
