What is the glowing head of comets called?

Does a comet go around the sun?
Most comets travel around the Sun in elliptical paths. The time it takes a comet to make a complete orbit is called its period. Some comets have short periods of less than seven years. Others travel in such huge orbits that they pass near the Sun only once in thousands or even millions of years. As of 1995, 878 comets have been catalogued and their orbits at least roughly calculated. Of these 184 are periodic comets (orbital periods less than 200 years); some of the remainder are no doubt periodic as well, but their orbits have not been determined with sufficient accuracy to tell for sure. No comets seem to have approached the Sun from beyond the limits of the solar system. Therefore, all comets seen by astronomers are considered part of the solar system.
