What gives comets there tails?

Answer 1

A comet contains a lot of rocks and frozen water. As the comet approaches the sun, it starts to get warmer. The water on its surface begins to evaporate. The solar wind blows it away from the comet. When the water vapor gets away from the comet, it turns into water or ice. People can not see water vapor. They can see drops of water and ice. The evaporated water vapor streams behind the comet carried by the solar wind. The comet comes close to the sun and then goes back. The solar wind keeps blowing its tail away from the direction of the sun.

Answer 2

the frozen gasses inside the nucleus melt when the comet gets near the sun and they, together with dust particles also form the nucleus, stream out behind the comet. these gasses and dust particles get hit by the solar winds which cause them to glow.

Answer 3

Comets have tails that form when the heat of the Sun causes gas and dust to sublimate from the comet's nucleus, creating a glowing coma and distinct tail. The solar wind then pushes this material away from the comet, forming long tails that point away from the Sun.

Answer 4

by the suns radiation pressure and solar winds cause an enormous tail.

Answer 5

The dust and rocks that come off the comet often catch on fire and leave a trail.

Answer 6

The comets get their tails by going nearer the sun and the icy hard rock starts to melt.
