"What evil lurks in the minds of men?" is how an old radio program used to begin. "The Shadow knows." The shadow always points away from the sun...
A comet
The sun and moon are always in the sky, but for half of the time, the earth turns you away from the part of the sky where they are, so that you can't see them. During those times, people on the other side of the earth can see them.
The Earth's axis is tilted relative to the plane of its orbit ... by 23.5 degrees. Therefore, when the north pole is pointed toward the sun the northern hemisphere is in spring/summer AND when it points away we are in fall/winter.Earth's position relative to the Sun continually changes as it travels along its orbit. At certain times, we are closer to the sun,(Winter in the northern hemisphere) and at other times we are further away.
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 sun.

It's tail
Solar wind
If the direction from which the light comes changes, then the direction of the shadow changes as well. The shadow basically points away from the light source.
No, the comet's tail always points away from the sun. It has nothing to do with its direction of travel.
All comet tails point away from the Sun.

Away from the Sun. The tails is caused by the solar wind.
The comet's 'tail' always points away from the sun.
The tail of the comet always points away from the sun because, the comet rotates around the sun, also, it would not be able to face the sun because of the EXCRUCIATING HEAT! I love my family .
moon is same like always but the only thing is moon is going away from earth
