Does an asteroid produce a tail when the sun warms its surface?
Yes, an asteroid can produce a tail when its surface is warmed by the sun, but this phenomenon is more commonly associated with comets. When an asteroid, particularly a porous one with volatile materials, gets close enough to the sun, the heat can cause these materials to sublimate, releasing gas and dust that form a tail. However, most asteroids do not exhibit this behavior since they lack significant volatile substances.
Do asteroid images become blurry due to outgassing as the Sun heats them up?
Yes, asteroid images can become blurry due to outgassing as they are heated by the Sun. When an asteroid's surface warms, volatile materials may sublimate, creating gas and dust that can obscure the asteroid's features. This outgassing can lead to a temporary hazy appearance in images captured by telescopes, affecting the clarity and resolution of the observations.
