As a comet approaches the Sun, the heat causes ice and other volatile substances within the comet to vaporize. This forms a glowing coma (a cloud of gas and dust) around the solid nucleus of the comet. The solar wind then pushes this gas and dust away from the Sun, forming a tail that can stretch for millions of kilometers in the opposite direction of 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.
What is a comets tail caused by?
A comets tail is pushed because of the solar wind.
This has a tail when it is near to the sun?
Comets
What body forms a tail as it approaches the sun?
Comets are celestial objects that have tails and move around the sun. When a comet is moving toward the sun, its tail points toward the sun.
What happens when a comet passes by the sun?
This is my Guess, As it approches the sun the comets icy surface is blasted off by the suns heat and solar wind thereby forming a tail. As the comet passes the sun the tail always points away from the sun. Solar wind always coming from the direction of the sun pushes the tail away from the sun. Once into deep space again the tail dissapears as no force is acting on the surface anymore to produce the steam and gas and also particles.

Away from the Sun.
What did the tail of comet points?
A Comets tail points away from the sun.

Where does a comets tail extend?
A comet's tail will always extend away from the Sun, even when going away from the Sun.
What causes a comets tail?
because of the sun's solar wind.
What are the icy object with the large tail that orbit the sun?
Comets
What direction do comets generally move?
with the tail facing the sun
