What are 3 parts of a comet?
The three main parts of a comet are the nucleus, coma, and tail. The nucleus is the head of the comet, the coma is the middle, and the tail is the end of the comet.
Can anyone describe the parts of a comet after it forms a tail?
The tail of a comet moves away from the Sun, because of the Solar Wind - a blast of particles traveling into space from the Sun. The ablated comet material (the tail) is dust, ices of various sorts, perhaps some water vapour, and the general debris of which the comet is made. I know of no particular name or subdivision of the parts of the tail, though one could classify them if needed to.
Parts of a comet?
head, tail,body
What are the nucleus coma and tail parts of?
A comet
How does a comets tail form?
It is formed from gas and ice and dust. A comet is from a asteroid belt. It is between Mars and Jupiter and is home to many comets. The tail of a comet is made up of gas and dust and ice. Comet means long haired star because its tail is so long.
What are the parts of a comet?
The coma, nucleus, and the tail
What two parts is a comet composed?
A nucleus and a tail
How is the tail of a comet created?
The Comet's Tail forms when sunlight causes the Comet's ice to change to a gas. The gas or ion , tail of a comet streams from the comet's head, carrying with it dust particles. The solar wind electrically charged particles, expand away from the sun pushes the gas away from the comet's head. Regardless of where its going the tail points away from the sun.
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 body forms a tail as it approaches the sun?
Comets are celestial objects that have tails and move around the sun. When a comet is moving toward the sun, its tail points toward the sun.
What is a small solar system object that forms a tail when it orbits close to the sun?
A comet.
What is the brains of a comet?
A comet is a large lump of ice, dust and stones hurtling through space. If it passes close to the Sun, the water vapour given off, forms the tail of the comet.
