What else can I help you with?
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
What two parts is a comet composed?
A nucleus and a tail
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 causes the tail of a comet to form and extend from its apex?
The tail of a comet forms and extends from its apex due to the solar wind pushing gas and dust particles away from the comet's nucleus.
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.
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.
Which heavenly bodies appear in the sky at regular bit long intervals and have a tail?
Comets are the celestial bodies that appear in the sky at regular but long intervals and have a tail. This tail forms as a comet gets closer to the sun, causing ice and dust to vaporize and stream away from the comet, creating a bright extended tail.
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 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! :)
