What happens when comets near the sun?
A comet's tail lengthens as it approaches the sun due to greater solar winds. A comets tail always faces away from the sun.
What are asteroid sized objects that develop a huge bright tail when they come near 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.
Why do you think the speed of comets increase as they near the sun?
It gives off gas and dust in the form of a coma and a tail.
When a comet passes near the Sun part of it takes on the appearance of a large bright ball from which the tail extends.?
Agreed.
Why is a comets tail is in front of the comet?
The comet's "tail" is a stream of dust and vapors that melt and get pushed out of the comet by radiation pressure from the sun. The tail appears only when the comet is relatively near the sun, it's longest when the comet is nearest the sun, and it always points away from the sun, no matter which way the comet is moving.

Loose collection of rock and frozen gas that has a tail?
A comet

When did Tail of the Sun happen?
Tail of the Sun happened in 1996.
What is made mainly of ice but has a tail near the sun?
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.
When was Tail of the Sun created?
Tail of the Sun was created on 1996-04-26.
