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.
What is the appearance of salt solution?
Generally the appearance is that of a dusty substance, the colour changes depending on the acidity of the solution when it was in its liquid form and if an indicator was used, usually it is white and dusty. :)
Does the Tail of a comet form when it gets close enough to the sun to melt the nucleus?
Sort of. The nucleus get heated by solar radiation and warms up to the point where some of its ices delequess (they change from solid to gas directly without forming a liquid phase because of the low pressure in space) these come out of the nucleus in jets caring dusty particles form the comet along with them. These jets of gas from the tail. The nucleus does not melt unless the comet plunges into the Sun.

What happens to a comet at perihelion?
As a comet approaches the sun, it grows warmer and some of the ices heat up and become gas (sublimating), releasing the dust grains that were trapped in the ice. This dusty gas coming from the nucleus is heated by the sun and forms a glowing hot cloud around the comet called the coma. Even though the nucleus might only be a couple of kilometers across, the cloud (or coma) can grow significantly (up to 100,000 kilometers across) during perihelion (its closest point to the sun). Comets also develop dust and gas tails.
What diretions does the tail of a comet point?
A comet's "tail" points away from the Sun. Moving away from the Sun, that means that the comet is moving "tail-first" through space. This is because the comet's tail is actually just wisps of gas and dust melting out of the "nucleus" or head of the comet. The light of the Sun actually has a pressure, and this solar pressure blows the dusty gas away from the comet itself. It is this dusty gas reflecting the Sun's light that we see.
What is a lump of dusty ice?
A lump of dusty ice typically refers to a comet. Comets are made up of rock, dust, water ice, and frozen gases. When a comet gets closer to the sun, the heat causes the ice to vaporize, releasing gas and dust particles that form the characteristic tail seen from Earth.
What makes a comet visible?
The icy, dusty and gassy volatiles that envelop it and gradually left behind as trail, are lightened by the sun!

How is the earth protected from comets?
since comets are big, dusty snow-balls, it doesn't much protection from most of a comet, and the atmosphere takes care of that. However, in the case of a direct hit by the head of a comet ... kerpow! The earth wouldn't really be damaged, but the little things (like us) would be.
