What is the fuzzy outer layer of a comet called?
The Coma is the fuzzy outer layer of a comet.
What is the hazy layer that surrounds a comet and nucleus?
The "coma".
What are the nucleus coma and tail parts of?
A comet
The nucleus and the coma compose the of the comet?
The nucleus and the coma compose the core of the comet. The nucleus is the solid, rocky part at the center, while the coma is the surrounding cloud of gas and dust that forms as the comet gets closer to the Sun and begins to vaporize.
How does the coma change shape?
Coma changes shape due to the evaporation of volatile materials like ice and dust grains from the nucleus of a comet. As the comet approaches the sun, these materials sublimate, creating a halo-like coma that can extend for thousands of kilometers. The shape of the coma can also be influenced by solar radiation and the comet's rotation.

Correct term for the halo of light around a comet?
This is the coma, the portion of the comet that sublimates from the surface as it approaches the sun.
What surrounds the head of a comet?
A hazy Cloud called coma sorrounds the head of a comet.
Why does the coma of a comet grow as it nears the sun?
The tail of a comet, also known as its coma, grows as the comet gets close to the sun because of increases in temperature and force exerted by the solar wind. Since a comet's coma is usually composed of dust and vapor, the solar wind causes it to stream out away from the sun.
A comet developes a coma because of?
A comet forms a so-called coma when it passes near the Sun. A comet undergoes sublimation when it warms up therefore producing a fuzzy like appearance. The term coma comes from the Greek word "kome" which means "hair".
