Where do the 3 main parts of a comet go?
The three main parts of a comet are the Nucleus, the Coma, and the Tail. The nucleus is the comet itself. In deep space, the comet is frozen solid and almost invisible. As the comet approaches the sun, the Sun's light heats the nucleus of the comet and causes frozen gasses to melt or sublimate, forming a sort of atmosphere around the comet. This is the "Coma" of the comet. The sunlight causes the gasses around the comet to glow. But the gravity of the comet's nucleus isn't strong enough to hold on to an atmosphere, and the Sun's rays push the glowing gasses away from the nucleus, directly away from the Sun. This stream of glowing gas is the "tail" of the comet. It's important to note that the tail of a comet doesn't drag behind the nucleus; the "tail" goes straight from the nucleus away from the Sun, so the "tail" sometimes extends AHEAD of the comet. Because the material of the comet nucleus gets melted and loses mass every pass by the Sun, comets have a limited lifespan. At some point, each comet will break apart into pieces and disappear, leaving only a meteor shower in its wake.
What are three main parts of a comet?

What three things make up a comet?
That depends. What are you asking, the parts of a comet or the composition of a comet? For the parts, there is the nucleus, which is the very center of the comet and what it is actually made of, then the coma surrounds the nucleus, then the tail trails behind it. A comet's nucleus is made up of dirty ice and rock. The tail is often made of gas or dust. Sometimes the comet has two tails, one of dust and one of gas. Hope this helps! :)
Can anyone describe the parts of a comet after it forms a tail?
The tail of a comet moves away from the Sun, because of the Solar Wind - a blast of particles traveling into space from the Sun. The ablated comet material (the tail) is dust, ices of various sorts, perhaps some water vapour, and the general debris of which the comet is made. I know of no particular name or subdivision of the parts of the tail, though one could classify them if needed to.
