A loose connection of ice and dust that orbits the sun in a long, narrow orbit is known as a comet. Comets are characterized by their glowing comas and tails, which form as they approach the sun and the heat causes their ices to vaporize. Their orbits can be highly eccentric, bringing them close to the sun and then taking them far into the outer solar system. Famous examples include Halley's Comet and Comet Hale-Bopp.
