Comets consist of mostly dust and ice, along with some carbon dioxide, methane, ammonia and other things. It starts out as an icy body and as it moves closer to the sun, it creates a tail that has gases and dust.
Comets contain ice.
Comets are made up of dust, rock, ice, and frozen gases. The most common compounds found in comets include water ice (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), ammonia (NH3), methane (CH4), and carbon monoxide (CO). Additionally, comets can contain organic molecules such as formaldehyde and methanol.
Comets contain ice.
Comets are made up of remnants from the early solar system, so their age is generally around the same as our solar system, approximately 4.6 billion years old. While some comets may contain even older material from beyond our solar system, as a whole, comets are not older than our solar system.
Yes, comets contain more ice than metals and gases.

Comets come from the coldest parts of the universe and contain ice and organic materials. Scientists believe that impacts from comets on earth are responsible for contributing to organic materials and possibly life on earth.
comets are large balls of gas and ice that are flying round in space. :-)
Comets, though they may contain other elements.
No. While comets contain some rock, they are mostly made of ice.
