Do comets give off their own light?
Comets do not emit their own light; instead, they reflect sunlight. When a comet approaches the Sun, the heat causes its icy nucleus to sublimate, releasing gas and dust that form a glowing coma and tail. This process makes the comet visible from Earth, but the light we see is primarily due to sunlight reflecting off the comet's material.
What is the possessive form of comet?
The possessive form of the noun comet is comet's. Example: The comet's appearance was calculated for three AM.
Do comets emit light?
Yes, comets emit light through a process called outgassing, where ices on the surface vaporize as the comet gets closer to the Sun. Sunlight reflects off the gases and dust surrounding the comet, creating a glowing halo or tail.

Why don't the rocks from tail of a connet fall on the earth?
Sometimes they do; that's what a "meteor shower" is. The point is that all of the rocks and dust given off by a comet, and the head of the comet too, travel the way gravity and the light pressure of the Sun force them to. The head of the comet is freely falling towards the Sun. (if a comet gets close enough to a planet, the gravity of the planet becomes significant, and sometimes the comet will collide with the planet; look at Shoemaker-Levy 9, which hit Jupiter in 1994.) As the heat of the Sun begins to melt the ices of the comet, gas and dust escape from the comet. Because the gas molecules and dust particles are very light, the pressure of the Sun's light pushes them away from the comet; this forms the "tail" of the comet. Over the course of thousands of orbits, the gas and dust spreads out to fill in much of the orbit of the comet. Where the Earth's orbit intersects the comet's orbit, we see annual meteor showers.
