What else can I help you with?
Is the head of the comet on the opposite side of the comet from sun?
No. The tail of the comet points away from the sun.
The tail of a comet is longest when the comet is?
The tail of a comet is longest when the comet is closest to the sun, as the sun's heat causes the comet's icy surface to vaporize, creating a bright glowing tail that streams away from the comet.
What happens to the comets tail as it passes the sun?
As a comet approaches the Sun, the heat causes ice and other volatile substances within the comet to vaporize. This forms a glowing coma (a cloud of gas and dust) around the solid nucleus of the comet. The solar wind then pushes this gas and dust away from the Sun, forming a tail that can stretch for millions of kilometers in the opposite direction of the Sun.
Which is the largest the earth the sun or the a comet?
The sun is the largest out of the three and then the earth and then a comet.
How does the sun create a tail on a comet?
The sun creates a tail on a comet because of solar radiation and solar wind on the nucleus of the comet. A comet is an icy body that is seen when it passes close to the sun.
Why is a comets tail is in front of the comet?
A comet's tail is always pointed away from the Sun due to the solar wind. As the comet moves closer to the Sun, solar radiation and solar wind push the dust and gas away from the comet, creating the tail that appears to extend ahead of the comet in its orbit.
What is a sun-grazing comet?
it is a comet that comes super close to the sun. Or that collides with it and disinagrates.
What is hotter surface of sun or core of earth?
Surface of the sun is hotter.
Is Neptune hotter then the sun?

Were does a comet tail face?

What body forms a tail as it approaches the sun?
Comets are celestial objects that have tails and move around the sun. When a comet is moving toward the sun, its tail points toward the sun.
What is a ball of ice dust and gasses that travels through space and orbits the sun?
