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 else can I help you with?
This has a tail when it is near to the sun?
Comets
How do comets behave?
Comets are just very icy asteroids, they become comets when a large enough of a body of mass, i.e. jupiter or saturn. When this happens, the asteroid gets thrown into an extremely high elliptical orbit. They ideally have an orbit perpindicular to the ecliptic.
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.
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.
Are comets moons?
No. Comets are not moons as they orbit the sun, not planets.

Comets
What are celestial comets?
Celestial comets is a more formal name for comets. Comets are objects in space orbiting the Sun with long orbits. They are thought to be made of frozen water. As they near the Sun they produce a long glowing tail trailing behind.
Do comets and asteroids both develop glowing tails near the sun?
no, only comets develop glowing tails.Fun Fact:some scientists called comets "dirty snowballs"
How are comets and the sun related?
comets orbit the sun
Do fire comets land on the sun?
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A "fire comet" would burn up when it gets anywhere near the sun! even if it did exist!!!!
Why do the speed of the comets increase as they near the sun?
It gives off gas and dust in the form of a coma and a tail.

Why are comets not seen both the time on going towards sun and away from it?
They are. We generally first see comets as they approach the Sun and become visible; if the comet survives the near approach to the Sun, we can continue to see them as they move away from the Sun. Depending on the comet's orbit as compared to the Earth's, we sometimes can't see the comet very well until after it is already moving away from the Sun. And of course, the first three comets discovered in 2010 were all discovered by satellites watching the Sun - as the comets fell INTO the Sun.
