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 two comet tails originate from?
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.
Do all comets have tails?
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.
What is small rocks in space left behind from comet 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.
What comet has a tail?
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.
In what direction does comet tails always point?
Away from the Sun.
Where in a comet's orbit will the tails be the longest?
the tails will be longest when it goes past the sun because of the light

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.

What blows the tails of the comet out?
Solar wind - i.e., particles coming from the Sun.
What part or parts of a comet come and go during a comet's orbit?
The tail. The tail is composed of gas and dust released from the comet nucleus when it approaches the Sun. Comet tails can be incredibly long, some as long as 150 million kilometers. As the comet recedes out into the Solar System away from the warmth of the Sun, it stops shedding dust and gas and the comet loses its tail.
Which comet tail always points away from the sun?
The ion tail of a comet always points directly away from the sun due to the solar wind pushing charged particles emitted by the comet.
What gives Comet their tails?
The tail of the comet is made up of melting ice. When the comet gets close to the sun, the melted ice becomes the gaseous tail.
