Sort of. Comets don't have to break up to spawn meteoroids since the solar wind knocks little bits off of them, which become the "tails."
"Dust cloud" actually means something different to astronomers, namely the bits of stuff out of which stars (and planets) form. Say rather "cometary dust trails."
What else can I help you with?
Which is not a source of a meteoroids?
A meteoroid is a small rocky or metallic body in outer space. Meteoroids can come from various sources, but the options are limited by your question. Assuming you're asking about sources that are not typical for meteoroids, the answer would be: Planets: Planets are not a source of meteoroids. Meteoroids are usually fragments of comets or asteroids. They can also be generated from collisions between larger bodies in space. Planets are much larger objects and don't typically break apart to become meteoroids. The common sources of meteoroids are comets and asteroids. When comets get close to the Sun, they release dust and gas, creating a debris trail. If Earth passes through this trail, the debris can enter our atmosphere and create meteor showers. Similarly, asteroids can collide or break apart due to various factors, leading to the creation of meteoroids.
When a comet breaks apart can a dust cloud form a meteoroid?
Yes. Old and extinct comets are probably the source of most of the "meteor showers" that we see over the year. It's not that the dust forms something else; the dust ARE the meteoroids.
Are comets and asteroids surrounded by hydrogen cloud?
Some comets develop a cloud of hydrogen gas around them when they get close to the sun, due to the sun's radiation breaking apart water molecules in the comet's icy nucleus. This creates a temporary hydrogen cloud known as a coma. Asteroids generally do not have hydrogen clouds since they are composed of rock and metal, lacking the icy material that comets have.
What are the celestial bodies that are left behind a comet's orbit as it passes near the sun?
As a comet passes near the sun, it may leave behind a trail of debris consisting of dust and rock particles. These debris may form a meteoroid stream along the comet's orbit. Additionally, comets can also shed larger fragments or break apart, leaving behind fragments or new smaller comets in its wake.
What are some possible fates of comets?
Comets can be captured by planets, ejected from the solar system, or collide with a celestial body such as a planet or star. Some comets may break apart or disintegrate due to the effects of gravitational forces and their volatile nature.

Why are the sightings of comets so many years apart?
they have long elliptical orbits
How do comets degenerate?
extreame speed cant keep the rock together so it will break apart
What is the relationship between meteoroids, asteroids, and comets in the solar system?
Meteoroids, asteroids, and comets are all small celestial bodies in the solar system. Meteoroids are small rocky or metallic fragments that travel through space. Asteroids are larger rocky bodies that orbit the sun, mostly found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Comets are icy bodies that also orbit the sun, often with long tails of gas and dust. While they are all distinct types of objects, they are related in that they are all part of the diverse population of objects that make up our solar system.
What surrounds Saturn apart from the rings?
dust, soil, meteoroids, asteroids, rocks, may be other stars and universal heavenly bodies
What are some possible fates of comets?
Comets can be captured by planets, ejected from the solar system, or collide with a celestial body such as a planet or star. Some comets may break apart or disintegrate due to the effects of gravitational forces and their volatile nature.
What elements are in clouds?
Since clouds are mainly water-vapour, (apart from impurities such as dust), the elements would be Hydrogen and Oxygen.
What is the difference between meteoroids comets and asteroids?
Comets are objects made up of mostly ice and some rock that have a 'tail', 'coma' and nucleus. They orbit the sun, most of them residing in the Kuiper Belt which is beyond Neptune. Their tails are always pointing away from the sun as opposed to common though that their tails point in the opposite direction of which they are traveling. They are pointed away from the sun due to them being "blown" by solar winds.Asteroids are irregular shaped rocks that orbit in a "belt" between Mars and Jupiter. Our solar system is the only one with these rocks that we gave the name "Asteroid" to. They are thought to be the remains of a planet that broke apart. They vary in sizes but are general rather large. *Mars's moons are thought commonly to be captured asteroids.Meteoroids are rock fragments floating through space. They have no orbit and can vary in size from a grain of sand to the size of a smaller asteroid. Meteoroids are only meteoroids floating through space. Once they enter an atmosphere, they are called Meteors. Once the meteor hits the surface of a planet, it is a meteorite. Meteoroids are no the objects that you see in meteor showers or refer to as "falling stars" or "shooting stars". These are meteors.
Are comets strong?
Comets are not physically strong objects in the traditional sense. They are composed mostly of ice, dust, and gas, and can break apart easily if they come too close to the Sun or other celestial bodies due to gravitational forces. However, they can be powerful in terms of the impact they have on our understanding of the solar system and the valuable scientific information they provide.
