Why do the tails of comets always face the sun?
Or "face away," maybe? A comet's tail always points away from the Sun, because it is blown that direction by ions streaming out from the Sun (solar winds). So, whenever a comet is moving away from the Sun, its tail will stream ahead of it.
Does comet tail possible to can seen pointing towards earth?
A comet's tail points away from the sun. Sometimes the dust and gas separate, though, because they are driven by two different effects, radiation pressure and solar wind, respectively. Both point mostly away from the sun, but not always exactly. Photographs of Comet Hale-Bopp show this effect well, for example, the Astronomy Picture of the Day at the link shown. A comet in deepest cold space is generally thought of as a giant dirty snowball with the snow made of water ice, and frozen organic liquids, and the dirt of small rocks and dust which are the debris of explosions and collisions of different bodies in space. It is only when the comet approaches the sun and warms up that surface ice melts and vapourises carrying dust with it and forming a large cloud that we can see clearly. It is at this stage when the effects mentioned above act on the cloud and sweep it behind the comet relative to the sun to form a tail or tails, and because there is no atmospheric air in space the tail always points away from the sun even when the comet is travelling away from it.

Away from the sunThe Tail of a Comet always points Away from the Sun.
Comets tail always point toward the sun?
No. Comets tails always point away from the sun. I believe the are a result of the heat and solar winds projected out from the sun which strip material off from the comet as it travels through space.
What is made out of gas and dust particles and has a long tail that always points away from the Sun?
A comet
What direction does a comets tail always points?
Away from the Sun. The tails is caused by the solar wind.
Does a comet's tail always point 180 degrees away from its direction of travel?
No, the comet's tail always points away from the sun. It has nothing to do with its direction of travel.
