What body forms a tail as it approaches the sun?
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.
What happens when comets near the sun?
A comet's tail lengthens as it approaches the sun due to greater solar winds. A comets tail always faces away from the sun.
Do comets or asteroids have a gas tail?
Comets!
Which way do comets tail point?
Comets' tails typically point away from the sun due to the solar wind pushing the gas and dust particles released from the comet's nucleus. The ion tail is affected by the solar wind's electrically charged particles, while the dust tail is affected by radiation pressure from sunlight.
A comet's ion tail always extends?
A comets ion or gas tail always extends away from the sun, as it is effected more by the solar wind from the sun. The dust tail follows the orbit of the comet, streaming behind the comet - where the comet has been.
Do the tails of comets point toward the moon?
Only by accident. A comet's tail will point away from the sun.
What body forms a tail as it approaches the sun?

Why a comets tail always points away from the Sun.?
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.
How does the behavior of a comets dust tail from a comet ion tail?
An ion tail is made of electrically charged particles and a dust tail is made of dust. Also, an ion tail will always point away from the sun because of the solar winds, while a dust tail tends to follow the comet's orbit and doesn't always point away from the sun.
What happens when comets near the sun?
A comet's tail lengthens as it approaches the sun due to greater solar winds. A comets tail always faces away from the sun.
Where does a comets tail extend?
A comet's tail will always extend away from the Sun, even when going away from the Sun.
Do comets or asteroids have a gas tail?
Comets!
What direction does a comets tail always points?
Away from the Sun. The tails is caused by the solar wind.
Is the tail of Halley's comet is always opposite to the sun?
A comet's ion (gas) tail always points directly away from the sun. Some comets also have a dust tail (antitail) which may curve slightly away to the side of the ion tail.
Which way do comets tail point?
Comets' tails typically point away from the sun due to the solar wind pushing the gas and dust particles released from the comet's nucleus. The ion tail is affected by the solar wind's electrically charged particles, while the dust tail is affected by radiation pressure from sunlight.

Why do the tails of comets always face the sun?
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.
