Away from the Sun. The tails is caused by the solar wind.
What else can I help you with?
A comets tail points to what?
A comet's tail points away from the Sun. This happens because the solar wind pushes the comet's gas and dust particles away from the Sun, forming a tail that always points in the opposite direction of the Sun.
What did the tail of comet points?
A Comets tail points away from the sun.
Comets tail always point toward the sun?
No. Comets tails always point away from the sun. I believe the are a result of the heat and solar winds projected out from the sun which strip material off from the comet as it travels through space.
A comets tail points is where?
Away from the Sun.
Does a comet's tail always point 180 degrees away from its direction of travel?
Yes, a comet's tail always points away from the sun due to the solar wind. As the comet travels in its orbit, the pressure of the solar wind pushes the gas and dust in the tail away from the sun, creating the iconic tail that points in the opposite direction of the comet's movement.
What direction do comets generally move?
with the tail facing the sun
Why a comets tail always points away from the Sun.?
Does it? 2nd Answer: Of course comets tails point away from the Sun!!! The "tail" is made of varying sizes of ice particles and chunks. The solar wind (a faint outstreaming of solar material) pushes comets' tails out, away from the sun.
Is the tail of Halley's comet is always opposite to the sun?
A comet's ion (gas) tail always points directly away from the sun. Some comets also have a dust tail (antitail) which may curve slightly away to the side of the ion tail.
What always Points away from the sun?
The tails of comets always point away from the sun. This happens due to the solar wind pushing particles away from the comet's nucleus, creating the tail that points in the opposite direction of the sun.
If a comets ion tail is pointing perpendicular to its direction of travel the comet is?
Close to or at perihelion.
A tail still exists in the direction of the sun when a comet moves away from the sun?
No, a comet's tail always points away from the sun regardless of the comet's direction of movement. This is due to the solar wind pushing gas and dust particles away from the comet's nucleus, creating the tail that always faces away from the sun.
What happens when comets near the sun?
A comet's tail lengthens as it approaches the sun due to greater solar winds. A comets tail always faces away from the sun.
