What is the part of a comet that points away from the sun?
tail
Part of comet that always points away from the sun?
It's tail
Which part of comet is on the opposite side of a comet from the sun?
Solar winds blow the debris of the traveling comet to make it appear it has a tail.
Which part of a comet is solid?
The nucleus is the solid part of a comet.
What is the comet part that can be millions of miles long?
The tail of a comet is over a million miles long.
When solar wind pushes gas away from a comet what part of the comet does gas and dust form?
When solar wind pushes gas away from a comet, it primarily affects the coma, which is the diffuse, glowing envelope of gas and dust that surrounds the comet’s nucleus. This interaction causes the gas and dust to form a tail that extends away from the Sun. The tail is typically composed of ionized gas (the ion tail) and dust particles (the dust tail), both of which are pushed away from the comet by solar radiation and solar wind.
Is halleys comet part of the solar system?
Yes. Halley's Comet is a comet that orbits our sun, and the definition of "Part of the solar system" is 'Any object that orbits our sun.'
What part or parts of a comet come and go during a comet's orbit?
The tail. The tail is composed of gas and dust released from the comet nucleus when it approaches the Sun. Comet tails can be incredibly long, some as long as 150 million kilometers. As the comet recedes out into the Solar System away from the warmth of the Sun, it stops shedding dust and gas and the comet loses its tail.
What part of the comet faces the sun during it's orbit?
The head of the comet
What part of a comet is formed due to the melting of the comet by the suns energy?
tail
Is a comet part of the universe?
Yes,it is.
Do comets have a tail throughout their whole orbit?
No. The tail of a comet is just dust and vapor blown away from the comet by the solar wind. It is visible only because it reflects the Sun's light. The closer the comet is to the Sun, the more vapor and dust will be released, and the longer the comet's tail will be.It also depends on our viewing angle to the comet is. If the comet's tail is perpendicular to our line of sight, the comet tail will appear longer. If the comet's tail is pointed toward Earth or away from it, then the tail may appear very short or may not be visible at all.
