A comet tail is a stream of gas and dust that is released from the nucleus of a comet as it approaches the Sun. The tail is formed when solar radiation and the solar wind cause the comet's ices to sublimate, creating a glowing envelope of gas and particles. Comets typically have two types of tails: a dust tail, which is curved and made of small particles, and an ion tail, which is straight and composed of charged gas. The tails always point away from the Sun, regardless of the direction of the comet's travel.
