The dust and rocks that come off the comet often catch on fire and leave a trail.
What else can I help you with?
What causes a comets tail?
because of the sun's solar wind.
Do comets or asteroids have a gas tail?
Comets!
What three things are comets made of?
Comets are made of mainly 3 parts -dust tail, ion tail and coma
What causes comas to form around comets?
Comas form around comets when they approach the Sun and heat causes volatile compounds within the comet to vaporize and escape, creating a surrounding cloud of gas and dust. This process is known as outgassing, and it gives comets their characteristic glowing halo.
This has a tail when it is near to the sun?
Comets
What did the tail of comet points?
A Comets tail points away from the sun.
Why do comets have a tail and what causes this unique feature to occur?
Comets have a tail because of the interaction between the comet's nucleus and the Sun's radiation. When a comet gets close to the Sun, the heat causes ice and other volatile substances on the comet's surface to vaporize and create a glowing cloud of gas and dust called a coma. The solar wind then pushes this material away from the comet, forming the tail that points away from the Sun.
Why do comets develop a tail?
because of their velocity
A comets tail points is where?
Away from the Sun.
What is a comets tail hardly made of?
gas
What do you call a comets tail?
Its called FRICTION
What are asteroid sized objects that develop a huge bright tail when they come near the sun?
Asteroid-sized objects that develop a bright tail when they approach the sun are known as comets. Unlike asteroids, comets are composed largely of ice, dust, and rocky material. When they near the sun, the heat causes the ice to vaporize, creating a glowing coma and a tail that always points away from the sun due to solar wind. This distinctive tail can be quite striking, making comets visible even from Earth.
