How is the tail of a comet created?
The Comet's Tail forms when sunlight causes the Comet's ice to change to a gas. The gas or ion , tail of a comet streams from the comet's head, carrying with it dust particles. The solar wind electrically charged particles, expand away from the sun pushes the gas away from the comet's head. Regardless of where its going the tail points away from the sun.
Is the tail of a comet created by heated of the sun?
Yes, the tail of a comet is created by the heat of the Sun. As a comet approaches the Sun, its temperature rises, causing its ices to vaporize and release gas and dust. This process creates two tails: a gas tail that points directly away from the Sun and a dust tail that follows the comet's trajectory. The interaction between solar radiation and the comet's material results in this spectacular display.
How does a comet begin?

Does Mars have a tail?
Venus is a planet, not a comet, so it does not have a tail.
What is a long ribbonlike trail of comet dust and gas?
The tail of a comet is made up of a combination of frozen rock, and ice particles coming off the comet and is lit up by the sun. If you were to be in this tail, you would face: subzero temperatures and constant pummeling by SOLID ice and rock.
Loose collection of rock and frozen gas that has a tail?

Which heavenly bodies appear in the sky at regular bit long intervals and have a tail?
Comets are the celestial bodies that appear in the sky at regular but long intervals and have a tail. This tail forms as a comet gets closer to the sun, causing ice and dust to vaporize and stream away from the comet, creating a bright extended tail.
Does a comet's tail trail behind it throughout its journey through the solar system?
No. A comets tail is created when water evaporates off the comet, this can only happen when the comet is near enough to the sun for water to evaporate. The tail of a comet does not follow behind it but always points away from the sun because of the solar wind.
Why is the tail of a comet luminous?
The tail of a comet is luminous because it scatters and reflects the light from the sun.
What is a icy rock called with a tail?
