What three things make up a comet?
That depends. What are you asking, the parts of a comet or the composition of a comet? For the parts, there is the nucleus, which is the very center of the comet and what it is actually made of, then the coma surrounds the nucleus, then the tail trails behind it. A comet's nucleus is made up of dirty ice and rock. The tail is often made of gas or dust. Sometimes the comet has two tails, one of dust and one of gas. Hope this helps! :)
