A comet's tail points away from the sun
Why don't you ask your mom, or dad? ^-^
A comet has the most potential energy at its farthest point from the sun (aphelion) in its elliptical orbit. At this point, the comet's gravitational potential energy is maximized due to the distance from the sun being at its greatest.
Away from the Sun

Same as any other comet: away from the Sun.Same as any other comet: away from the Sun.Same as any other comet: away from the Sun.Same as any other comet: away from the Sun.
A comet is comprised mostly of ice. The tail of the comet is caused by cosmic winds, from our sun, blasting particles off the comet's surface, the tail does NOT point in the opposite direction of travel, as one might expect, but points directly away from the source of the solar winds. That's why a comets tail, (from our perspective) may be traveling in a certain direction but have it's tail pointing in the SAME direction.
Solar wind makes a comet's tail always point away from the Sun.
Away from the Sun.
No. It is possible for a comet to leave our solar system, but not the galaxy.
No.It's just a chunk of ice in space. It's only in fairy tales.
Two things: 1. Comet tails do not follow along behind the comet. Comet tails always point away from the Sun. 2. Comets are not rocky, they are icy.
