Does it?
2nd Answer:
Of course comets tails point away from the Sun!!!
The "tail" is made of varying sizes of ice particles and chunks. The solar wind (a faint outstreaming of solar material) pushes comets' tails out, away from the sun.
A Comets tail points away from the sun.
A comet's tail points away from the Sun. This happens because the solar wind pushes the comet's gas and dust particles away from the Sun, forming a tail that always points in the opposite direction of the Sun.
Away from the Sun. The tails is caused by the solar wind.
Away from the Sun.
A comet's ion (gas) tail always points directly away from the sun. Some comets also have a dust tail (antitail) which may curve slightly away to the side of the ion tail.
No. Comets tails always point away from the sun. I believe the are a result of the heat and solar winds projected out from the sun which strip material off from the comet as it travels through space.
A comet's tail will always extend away from the Sun, even when going away from the Sun.
Comets are made mostly of water ice and rock, and as they get close to the sun, the heat vapourises the ice and the solar wind blows the vapour and debris away, meaning that the tail always points away from the sun.
The tails of comets always point away from the sun. This happens due to the solar wind pushing particles away from the comet's nucleus, creating the tail that points in the opposite direction of the sun.
A comet's tail lengthens as it approaches the sun due to greater solar winds. A comets tail always faces away from the sun.
Or "face away," maybe? A comet's tail always points away from the Sun, because it is blown that direction by ions streaming out from the Sun (solar winds). So, whenever a comet is moving away from the Sun, its tail will stream ahead of it.
The pressure of the sun's light shining on the wispy gasses vaporizing from the comet's head push the tail of the comet away from the sun. While it looks like the "tail" of the comet is trailing behind, the tail always points away from the Sun. So after the comet's perihelion (the closest approach to the Sun) the "tail" is actually LEADING the comet!
