It's assumed those asteroids that once were comets have had the ice and dust burned off and now have nothing coming off to make a tail.

Do asteroids tails burn?

No, they do not burn only comets have tails.


Do asteroids have tails, and if so, what causes them to form?

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.


Is Comet or Asteroids made of rock or metal?

Comets are a mix of dust, rock, and ice, while asteroids are primarily made of rock and metal. Comets usually have a tail when they approach the Sun due to the melting of the ice, while asteroids do not have tails.


Do comets and asteroids both develop glowing tails near the sun?

no, only comets develop glowing tails.Fun Fact:some scientists called comets "dirty snowballs"


What are facts about comets and asteroids?

Comets are icy bodies that originate in the outer regions of the solar system and develop tails when they approach the sun, whereas asteroids are rocky and metallic bodies that orbit the sun mainly in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Comets are composed of ice, dust, and rocky material, while asteroids are primarily made of rock and metal. Both comets and asteroids can pose a potential threat to Earth if they collide with our planet.


Name two objects in the solar system besides moons and planets?

Asteroids and comets are two examples of objects in the solar system besides moons and planets. Asteroids are rocky objects that orbit the Sun, mostly found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Comets are icy bodies that also orbit the Sun, with tails that form when they come close to the Sun.


What are the big chunks of dirt and ice tails in the solar system?

The big chunks of dirt and ice in the solar system are primarily found in comets and some asteroids. Comets are composed of ice, dust, and rocky material, and when they approach the Sun, the heat causes their ice to vaporize, forming glowing tails of gas and dust. Asteroids, mainly found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, are primarily rocky or metallic, but some contain significant amounts of ice and organic compounds. Both comets and certain asteroids are considered remnants from the early solar system, providing insights into its formation.


What do comets and asteroids not have in common?

Comets are Comets and Asteroids are Asteroids


Why does an asteroid not develop a tail when its closer to the sun?

Comets develop a tail as the sun's energy vaporizes substances such as ice and dry ice that form the comet. Asteroids lack these substances and so do not devlop tails.


What are the three types of NEOs?

The three types of Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) are asteroids, comets, and meteoroids. Asteroids are rocky bodies primarily found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, while comets are icy bodies that release gas and dust, forming tails as they approach the Sun. Meteoroids are smaller fragments that can originate from both asteroids and comets. All three types can have orbits that bring them close to Earth's path.


How comets asteroids and meteors different from each other?

Comets are icy bodies that can have long tails when they approach the Sun, asteroids are rocky or metallic bodies that orbit the Sun, and meteors are small particles of rock that burn up upon entering the Earth's atmosphere. Each of these objects interacts with the Sun and planets in different ways.
