Comets
A comet's tail lengthens as it approaches the sun due to greater solar winds. A comets tail always faces away from the sun.
Asteroid-sized objects that develop a bright tail when they approach the sun are known as comets. Unlike asteroids, comets are composed largely of ice, dust, and rocky material. When they near the sun, the heat causes the ice to vaporize, creating a glowing coma and a tail that always points away from the sun due to solar wind. This distinctive tail can be quite striking, making comets visible even from Earth.
It gives off gas and dust in the form of a coma and a tail.
Agreed.
Tail of the Sun happened in 1996.

Tail of the Sun happened in 1996.
A comet's tail is always pointed away from the Sun due to the solar wind. As the comet moves closer to the Sun, solar radiation and solar wind push the dust and gas away from the comet, creating the tail that appears to extend ahead of the comet in its orbit.
A comet is made of ice and other materials and its tail points at the strongest point of gravity along its path. That means that while the tail will point in the direction of the sun most of the time, if it were to pass near a planet where there was a strong attraction it would point o wards the planet until the suns gravity was stronger again.
Tail of the Sun was created on 1996-04-26.
