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.
