What effect the sun has on comets?

Answer 1

• The sun's gravity holds comets in their orbits.
• The sun's radiation heats comets causing vaporization of their ices.
• The sun's solar wind blows vaporized ice and dust particles away from the comets forming the tail.
• The sun's visible light reflects from the comet and its tail, making them visible.
• The sun's magnetic field deflects ions in the tail, causing separation into two tails - the dust tail and the ion tail.
• If a comet comes too close to the sun, the comet will hit the sun and be destroyed.
