What does a comet's ion tail consist of?
An ion tail is made of electrically charged particles and a dust tail is made of dust. Also, an ion tail will always point away from the sun because of the solar winds, while a dust tail tends to follow the comet's orbit and doesn't always point away from the sun.
A comet's ion tail always extends?
A comets ion or gas tail always extends away from the sun, as it is effected more by the solar wind from the sun. The dust tail follows the orbit of the comet, streaming behind the comet - where the comet has been.
Does the shape of the ion tail of a comet depend on the solar winds?
yes. While one would presume that the tail would stretch out behind the comet, in reality the tail is caused by the solar wind blowing dust and gas away from the sun. Thus, no matter what orbit the comet is in or what direction it is travelling, the tail always points away from the sun.
What are the parts of a comet?
A comet typically consists of a nucleus, coma, dust tail, and ion tail. The nucleus is the solid core made of ice, dust, and rock, while the coma is the gas and dust cloud surrounding the nucleus. The dust tail is made up of small dust particles reflecting sunlight, and the ion tail consists of ions and electrons blown away by the solar wind.
What shapes the comets tail into a shimmering tail?
The tail of a comet is shaped by the solar wind, which pushes the gas and dust particles emitted from the comet's nucleus away from the Sun. The particles are ionized by sunlight and are then affected by the Sun's magnetic field, forming the distinctive shimmering tail.
How does the behavior of a comets dust tail from a comet ion tail?
An ion tail is made of electrically charged particles and a dust tail is made of dust. Also, an ion tail will always point away from the sun because of the solar winds, while a dust tail tends to follow the comet's orbit and doesn't always point away from the sun.
Which is longer the ion tail or the dust tail?
The dust tail because the dust tail has a curve to it which will make it take longer.
Is the tail of Halley's comet is always opposite to the sun?
A comet's ion (gas) tail always points directly away from the sun. Some comets also have a dust tail (antitail) which may curve slightly away to the side of the ion tail.
What size bulb is in an 2006 Saturn Ion tail light?
See sources and related links below for 2006 Saturn Ion tail light lamp part numbers.
What three things are comets made of?
Comets are made of mainly 3 parts -dust tail, ion tail and coma

Where is the battery located on a 2003 Saturn Ion?
In the trunk by the right tail light.

If a comets ion tail is pointing perpendicular to its direction of travel the comet is?
Close to or at perihelion.
