No, the comet's tail always points away from the sun. It has nothing to do with its direction of travel.

What is crosswind direction?

A crosswind is any wind that is not in the same direction as travel. The crosswind component is perpendicular to the direction of travel ( 90 degrees). Mathematically, the crosswind component is the speed times the sine of the angle relative to the direction of travel. For example if a plane travels NORTH and there is a crosswind from the EAST ( 90 degrees) at 20 mph the crosswind component is 20 mph ( 20 sin90 = 20) For another example if a plane travels NORTH and there is a crosswind from the NORTHEAST ( 45 degrees) at 20 mph the crosswind component is 14.1mph ( 20 sin45 = 14.1)


Why do comets have tails Why do the tails point away from the sun?

Comets have tails due to the sublimation of ice and other volatile materials when they approach the Sun, which creates a cloud of gas and dust around the nucleus. This material is then pushed away from the comet by solar radiation and solar wind, resulting in a tail. The tails always point away from the Sun because the solar wind and radiation pressure exert a force that pushes the particles outward, regardless of the comet's direction of travel. Therefore, no matter the orientation of the comet's orbit, its tail will always trail behind it in the direction opposite to the Sun.
