Are comet tails mostly made up of sunlight?
Comet tails are made of ice and dust.
Did comet is mostly made up of ice?
yes
What is the necleus of a comet?
The inside of a comet that is made up of mostly frozen gases and dust.
What are comets tails made up of?
Comet tails are made of parts of the comet, such as ice and water vapor, pieces of rock and dust, and whatever else the comet itself happens to be made of that have broken or evaporated off due to solar wind. This is why the comet trail always trails in a direction that is directly opposite from the sun and not necessarily directly behind the path of the comet itself. A comet can also have two types of tails. A dust tail, and ion tail. The ion tail is made of electrically charged particles...ions. The center of a comet is called a nucleus.
What gives Comet their tails?
The tail of the comet is made up of melting ice. When the comet gets close to the sun, the melted ice becomes the gaseous tail.
What two comet tails originate from?
What DO comet tails originate from? They are formed when the sun causes gas and dust to leave the comet, and are then swept away by solar winds. This is why that no matter which direction a comet is traveling, it's tail is always pointed awY from the sun.

Are comets made mostly up of rock and metal?
Comets are mostly made up of ice. They usually have a metallic core high in nickel. The tail of a comet is actually the ice melting as it passes a heat source.
What colors are produced by comments and their tails?
It depends on the chemical make-up of the comet in question. For example, Lulin (Comet C/2007 N3) is a bluish-green color because it's massive atmosphere is made of cyanide gas and diatomic carbon.
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! :)
