The tail of a comet forms when the sun's heat causes the frozen gases and dust in the comet to vaporize and stream away from the nucleus. This creates two types of tails: ion tail (gas) and dust tail (solid particles). The direction of the tails is determined by the pressure of the solar wind.
A comet is a ball of ice and dust that orbits the sun. As it gets closer to the sun, the heat and radiation from the sun cause the surface of the comet to be blown away, creating a tail that points away from the sun.
Comas form around comets when they approach the Sun and heat causes volatile compounds within the comet to vaporize and escape, creating a surrounding cloud of gas and dust. This process is known as outgassing, and it gives comets their characteristic glowing halo.
The tail of an asteroid is not made of material itself. A comet can develop a temporary tail when passing close to the Sun, as the heat causes ice and gases on its surface to vaporize and create a visible tail.
The tail of a comet is longest when the comet is closest to the sun, as the sun's heat causes the comet's icy surface to vaporize, creating a bright glowing tail that streams away from the comet.
They have a tail, nucleus (the physical mass that is flying through space). Here s the astronomical sign for comets: ☄ There are most recognizable by their hair like tail. Looking up to the sky on a starry night you see a comet streaking through the heavens. It looks like a small fuzzy ball with a long hair-like tail. Other times a comet looks like a white streak. There are three main characteristics to a comet's appearance which are: the nucleus, the coma, and the tail. The nucleus is the solid central part of the comet. This is the actual mass that is traveling through space. The nucleus of a comet is dark, is potato-shaped in many comets, and resembles a dirty iceberg. A comet coma forms when the nucleus evaporates and a large cloud expands around the comet center. This cloud is called the coma. This spherical cloud gives the comet the appearance of a fuzzy ball. The most recognizable characteristic of a comet is its tail. The comet tail also forms when the nucleus evaporates, releasing gas and dust. Both the gas and dust form their own distinct tail. The trail of dust is left behind the comet in its orbit forming a curved tail called the anti-tail or dust tail. The ion tail of a comet is composed of gases and points towards the sun. A comet's tail is what comets are known for. Without a tail it would just look like a spot of light moving across the sky. Comets can be many different colors including silver, blue, purple and gold at the end of their tail. Comets are usually blue or white at the front part. The color of the comet depends on its distance from the sun.
a star doesn't move and a comet has a tail
Wet tail is generally not transmitted to humans. Wet tail is a form of stomach upset or diarrhea that causes a hamster or other small mammal to become ill.
The tail of a comet forms and extends from its apex due to the solar wind pushing gas and dust particles away from the comet's nucleus.
Bostons don't have a tail!
A comet is a ball of ice and dust that orbits the sun. As it gets closer to the sun, the heat and radiation from the sun cause the surface of the comet to be blown away, creating a tail that points away from the sun.
