What force or forces act on a comet?

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.

Away from the Sun. The tails is caused by the solar wind.

Why do the tails of comets always face 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.

What are the icy objects with huge trials that orbit the sun?
Tails, not trials. They're called comets, and their "tails" form when the comet gets near the sun, vaporizing away some of the ice.
