What DO comet tails originate from? They are formed when the sun causes gas and dust to leave the comet, and are then swept away by solar winds. This is why that no matter which direction a comet is traveling, it's tail is always pointed awY from the sun.
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.

A comet has two tails: a dust tail and an ion (or plasma) tail. The dust tail is made up of small particles that are pushed away from the comet by solar radiation and pressure from sunlight, creating a curved appearance. The ion tail, on the other hand, consists of charged gas particles that are swept away by the solar wind, resulting in a straight tail that always points away from the Sun. These two tails can appear distinctly different in color and shape as the comet approaches the Sun.
All comets have tails when their proximity to the sun is such that the icy debris in the comet is warmed enough to melt and fall away from the comet.
Comet tails are made of ice and dust.
The Comet plasma is created by solar wind. The Comet plasma enables scientists to discover and understand what the solar wind is doing and is very useful.
Both of the comet tails are pushed away by the light and solar wind that is always streaming out of the Sun. This means the tails always point away from the Sun. The dust tail may curve a bit, but the plasma tail points directly away, so that the two tails may seem to form a "V".

Because the comet is going so fast there looks like the comet has a tail.
The plasma trail of a comet, often referred to as the comet's plasma tail, is primarily composed of ionized gas, which includes electrons and positively charged ions. This trail forms when the solar wind—charged particles emitted by the Sun—interacts with the comet's coma, stripping away some of the comet's gas and dust. As the comet approaches the Sun, the heat causes the ices within it to sublimate, releasing gases that contribute to the plasma trail. The plasma tail always points away from the Sun due to the influence of the solar wind.
the tails will be longest when it goes past the sun because of the light
