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.
Stars emit a mixture of particles called the solar wind. This wind blows bits of the comet off, forming a tail. The solar wind is always blowing away from the sun, likewise does the tail of a comet point away from the sun.
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.
Comets have two tails. The dust particle tail will always trail behind the comet, and the more gaseous tail will always be away from the sun, blown outwards by the solar wind which comes from the sun.
The sun's heat causes some of the ice to evaporate form the comet's surface. The solar wind then blows away the leftover particles.
Because the radiation from the sun (the 'solar wind') pushes debris from the comet away from it.
Comets sound like the answer to your question.
Comets orbit the Sun.
No. Comets LOSE mass with each pass by the Sun.
the sun has a smiley face because in most childhood stories or fables the sun is always the one to give encouragement or happiness so when people picture a sun they think of a smiley face.
The tail of the comet will become larger, and always point away from the sun. As the comet moves towards the sun, the tail is behind it. As it retreats from the sun, the tail is before it.
yes

Away from the Sun. The tails is caused by the solar wind.
No, a comet's tail always faces away from the sun/
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.
Because they aren't traveling towards the sun. Comet tails are caused by debries being burned off.
They are called comets.
Nothing fuels a comet. They are just ice balls orbiting the Sun forever (until they run into something). By the way, the tails of comets do not stream out behind them. The tails of comets always point away from the Sun.
They are called comets.
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.

no, only comets develop glowing tails.Fun Fact:some scientists called comets "dirty snowballs"
