∙ 8y agoThe nucleus (core) is made up of ice and dust. When a comet passes close to the Sun, a tail of melting ice and dust is given off, and the tail will point away from the Sun.

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! :)
What is the necleus of a comet?
The inside of a comet that is made up of mostly frozen gases and dust.
What is the surface of a comet made up of?
The nucleus of a comet is made of frozen water and gases mixed with dust and rocky material.
What are comets tails made up of?
Comet tails are made of parts of the comet, such as ice and water vapor, pieces of rock and dust, and whatever else the comet itself happens to be made of that have broken or evaporated off due to solar wind. This is why the comet trail always trails in a direction that is directly opposite from the sun and not necessarily directly behind the path of the comet itself. A comet can also have two types of tails. A dust tail, and ion tail. The ion tail is made of electrically charged particles...ions. The center of a comet is called a nucleus.
What substances make up comet Halley?
ice rock and gases

What make's the comet's light up?
The sun makes a comet appear bright. A comet is usually made up of ice and rock. The ice reflects the light of the sun very well.
Are comet tails mostly made up of sunlight?
Comet tails are made of ice and dust.
Whats make up made of?

What is the necleus of a comet?

Did comet is mostly made up of ice?
yes
What gives Comet their tails?
The tail of the comet is made up of melting ice. When the comet gets close to the sun, the melted ice becomes the gaseous tail.
