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.
Asteroids do not have tails. Tails are typically seen on comets, which are made of ice and dust. The tails form when the comet gets close to the sun, causing the ice to melt and release gas and dust particles that create the tail.
The tails of comets always point away from the sun. This happens due to the solar wind pushing particles away from the comet's nucleus, creating the tail that points in the opposite direction of the sun.
Those are comets, which are composed of ice, dust, and rocky material. When they approach the sun, the heat causes the ice to vaporize, creating a glowing tail that points away from the sun due to solar wind.
Yes, comets have tails. The tails are formed when the comet gets closer to the sun, causing the ice and gases on the comet to vaporize and create a glowing trail of dust and gas that points away from the sun.
Comets are not stars so if that was the answer the questioner suspected, then that is not correct. There are many stars with tails however. I can think of few: Mickey Mouse, Rin Tin Tin, Lassie, etc. etc.
yes
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.
They are called comets.
They are called comets.
Yes, all comets develop tails when they approach the Sun. The tail forms as the Sun's heat vaporizes the comet's icy nucleus, releasing gas and dust that get pushed away from the comet by solar wind and radiation pressure, creating the characteristic tail.
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"
No, a comet's tail always faces away from the sun/
The Sun boils off material from the comet and this is seen as a "tail".
Two things: 1. Comet tails do not follow along behind the comet. Comet tails always point away from the Sun. 2. Comets are not rocky, they are icy.
Tails, not trials. They're called comets, and their "tails" form when the comet gets near the sun, vaporizing away some of the ice.
