What are three main parts of a comet?

Answer 1

A comet's 3 main parts are nucleus, coma and tail. The nucleus is the heart of a comet. A coma is the gas and dust that forms a cloud around the nucleus. The tail is a blazing streamer from the coma, it is million of miles long

Answer 2

The three main parts of a comet are the nucleus, coma, and tail. The nucleus is the solid core of ice and dust at the center, the coma is the surrounding cloud of gas and dust that forms as the comet nears the Sun, and the tail is the bright stream of gas and dust particles that trails behind the comet as it moves through space.

Answer 3

Head: The front of the comet

Nucleus: Middle of comet

Coma: The coma is a halo of evaporated gas (water vapor, ammonia, carbon dioxide) and dust that surrounds the nucleus. The coma is made as the comet warms up

Tail: The end of the comet

Answer 4

Comets are usually made primarily from ice. Essentially everything that's floating around in space could be found in a Comet. Some of the commonly known materials include:

* Ice

* Ionizing Gasses * Gasses which do not ionize (Condensed Gasses) * Amonia * Dirt (Iron, Aluminum, Sulfur and pretty much anything really that may have been floating around in space)

Answer 5

A smaller asteroid is simply a piece of rock, or ice. It doesn't necessarily have any parts. Larger asteroids - the largest have a diameter of several hundred kilometers - are likely to have layers, similar to planets.

Answer 6

== == The 3 main parts of a comet are the Nucleus, Coma, and the tail. The Nucleus is the head of the comet, the Coma is the middle & the tail is the end of the comet.

Answer 7

the description of a compositon of an orbit is the sun trying to do anything to help it rotate.

Answer 8

Comets are mostly frozen carbon dioxide and water, with a smattering of other things making them look like dirty snowballs.

Answer 9

There are 3 main parts; the nucleus, the coma and the tail

Answer 10

Nucleus coma and tail
