simple and easy a comet a comet has a solid center nucleus that contains rock particles trapped in frozen liqud

this forms the tail: as it moves closer to the sun the "outer ice" turns to gas and the solid particles (pieces) turn to dust

What is An increase in the space between particles is called?

An increase in the space between particles is called expansion. This phenomenon typically occurs when a substance is heated, causing its particles to gain energy and move apart. Expansion can be observed in various states of matter, including solids, liquids, and gases. In gases, for example, the increase in space between particles leads to a decrease in density.


Particles that have space between them take the shape of the contanier?

This behavior is characteristic of gases. Gases consist of particles that are far apart and move randomly, causing the gas to fill the container it is in. The lack of strong forces between gas particles allows them to spread out to fill the available space.

Normally free floating particles and gases such as oxygen, nitrogen etc.


What is the definition of 'winds' as it pertains to outer space?

The winds of outer space are called solar winds. Not really air but it is the movement of gases and charged particles coming from the sun or the planets into outer space.

Ability to force a gas into smaller space is called what?

It is called compressibility. The compressibility of gases can be explained by the kinetic particle theory: due to the large amount of space between the gas particles and the weak attraction forces between them, gases can easily be compressed (the particles are brought closer to each other, thus reducing the volume of the gas).


What are the particles called in the space around the nucleus?
