Is the tail of Halley's comet is always opposite to the sun?

A comet's ion (gas) tail always points directly away from the sun. Some comets also have a dust tail (antitail) which may curve slightly away to the side of the ion tail.


Do comet tails face the sun?

No, a comet's tail always faces away from the sun/


What is the definition of a comet head?

The comet head refers to the spherical cluster of dust and gas surrounding the comet's nucleus, which is primarily composed of ice, dust, and organic compounds. As the comet approaches the Sun, the heat causes this material to vaporize and form the comet's characteristic coma or fuzzy halo.


Is the ion tail of a comet on the top or bottom?

It is on the side of the comet furthermost from the Sun. Conventional wisdom dictates gravity defines up and down therefore it is on "top" of the comet since the comet is trapped by the gravity of the Sun.


How is the tail of a comet created?

The Comet's Tail forms when sunlight causes the Comet's ice to change to a gas. The gas or ion , tail of a comet streams from the comet's head, carrying with it dust particles. The solar wind electrically charged particles, expand away from the sun pushes the gas away from the comet's head. Regardless of where its going the tail points away from the sun.

How is the bright tail of a comet produced?

A comet's tail is formed when the Sun's radiation and the pressure of light drive the very thin gases and very small particles that form the head of a comet away from the head.


What pushes particles in a comets tail?

The pressure of the sun's light shining on the wispy gasses vaporizing from the comet's head push the tail of the comet away from the sun. While it looks like the "tail" of the comet is trailing behind, the tail always points away from the Sun. So after the comet's perihelion (the closest approach to the Sun) the "tail" is actually LEADING the comet!


Why does the head of the comet always facing the sun?

its not the head of comet always faces de sun but its the tail that will b formed always away 4m de direction of sun. that's y u`ll c as if head is always towards de sun. n tail is formed by water vapour n dust from comets surface . as de comet moves around de sun a pseudo force called centrifugal force acts on these particles in de direction away from de sun so they flow in that direction n forms de tail which makes de actual comet look like head which is always towards de sun.


The tail of a comet always points away from the sun because of?

The tail of the comet always points away from the sun because, the comet rotates around the sun, also, it would not be able to face the sun because of the EXCRUCIATING HEAT! I love my family .
