The tail of a comet may be over 100 million miles long.

Comets
Comets travel in long orbits around the sun, and they are made up of ice, rock, and dust. The tail of a comet forms when it gets close to the sun, causing the ice on its surface to vaporize and create a glowing trail of gas and dust.
Nucleus coma tail
Comets and asteroids are the same, but differ in the fact that comets have surface activity with their characteristic tail.

Celestial comets is a more formal name for comets. Comets are objects in space orbiting the Sun with long orbits. They are thought to be made of frozen water. As they near the Sun they produce a long glowing tail trailing behind.
A star with a long tail is typically referred to as a comet. Comets are icy bodies that release gas and dust as they approach the Sun, forming a glowing coma and a tail that points away from the Sun due to solar wind and radiation pressure. The tail can appear quite elongated and is one of the most distinctive features of comets.
Comets are made of mainly 3 parts -dust tail, ion tail and coma

The mass of material with a long tail that travels around the sun is called a comet. Comets are composed of ice, dust, and small rocky particles. The tail of a comet is formed when it gets closer to the sun, and the heat causes the ice to vaporize and create a glowing tail. The mass of a comet can range from a few million kilograms to billions of kilograms.
