Comet speeds increase as they near the sun due to the sun's gravitational pull. The sun's gravity accelerates the comet as it moves closer, causing an increase in speed. Additionally, as the comet nears the sun, it is subjected to increasing solar radiation and solar wind pressure, which can also contribute to its acceleration.

Comets
Yes. Comets have highly elliptical orbits. They move fastest when they are nearest the sun and slowest when they are farthest away.
A comet's tail lengthens as it approaches the sun due to greater solar winds. A comets tail always faces away from the sun.
Celestial comets is a more formal name for comets. Comets are objects in space orbiting the Sun with long orbits. They are thought to be made of frozen water. As they near the Sun they produce a long glowing tail trailing behind.
As a comet gets closer to the sun its speed increases.
no, only comets develop glowing tails.Fun Fact:some scientists called comets "dirty snowballs"
The tail of the comets is caused by the solar wind - particles blown away form the Sun. When the comet is closer to the Sun, the solar wind becomes stronger.
