What else can I help you with?
What is the necleus of a comet?
The inside of a comet that is made up of mostly frozen gases and dust.
What three things make up a comet?
That depends. What are you asking, the parts of a comet or the composition of a comet? For the parts, there is the nucleus, which is the very center of the comet and what it is actually made of, then the coma surrounds the nucleus, then the tail trails behind it. A comet's nucleus is made up of dirty ice and rock. The tail is often made of gas or dust. Sometimes the comet has two tails, one of dust and one of gas. Hope this helps! :)
The tail of a comet is longest when the comet is?
The tail of a comet is longest when the comet is closest to the sun, as the sun's heat causes the comet's icy surface to vaporize, creating a bright glowing tail that streams away from the comet.
Is comet is living thing?
No, a comet is not a living thing. It is a celestial object made up of ice, dust, and rock that orbits the sun. It does not have the biological processes required for life.
What is the two tail of a comet made of?
The tail of a comet is made up of dust and gas. The dust tail is composed of particles that reflect sunlight, while the gas tail is made up of ionized gas that is pushed away from the comet by the solar wind.
Are comet tails mostly made up of sunlight?
Comet tails are made of ice and dust.
What is the necleus of a comet?
The inside of a comet that is made up of mostly frozen gases and dust.
Are Comets are shooting stars?
No. A shooting star is a small object burning up in Earth's atmosphere. A comet is a body of ice and rock in space. The tail of a comet is made of material that evaporates from the surface and is swept away by the solar wind.
Did comet is mostly made up of ice?
yes
What make's the comet's light up?
The sun makes a comet appear bright. A comet is usually made up of ice and rock. The ice reflects the light of the sun very well.
What gives Comet their tails?
The tail of the comet is made up of melting ice. When the comet gets close to the sun, the melted ice becomes the gaseous tail.
What are comet tails mostly made up of?
Dust and gas
What is an ice comet?
An Ice Comet is like a comet, just that it is made of ice.
What Object with frozen methane surface?
A comet

Do the bigger comet's melt faster than smaller comet's. if why?
The rate at which a comet melts, or sublimates, is not solely dependent on its size. Several factors influence the rate of sublimation: **Distance from the Sun**: Comets are made of ice and rock. When they get closer to the Sun, the heat causes the ice to sublimate, turning directly into gas. Therefore, the closer a comet is to the Sun, the faster it will sublimate. **Composition**: Comets are made up of various types of ice, including water ice, carbon dioxide ice, and methane ice, among others. Different types of ice sublimate at different temperatures, so the composition of the comet can affect the rate of sublimation. **Surface Area**: The rate of sublimation is also affected by the surface area of the comet that is exposed to the Sun. A larger comet will have a larger surface area and therefore, all else being equal, will sublimate faster than a smaller one. However, this is also dependent on the shape of the comet, as a more elongated or irregular shape can have a larger surface area than a more spherical one of the same volume. **Albedo (Reflectivity)**: The albedo of a comet, or how much sunlight it reflects, can also affect its rate of sublimation. A comet with a high albedo will reflect more sunlight and therefore heat up less, slowing the rate of sublimation. So, while a larger comet might sublimate faster due to a larger surface area exposed to the Sun, it's not a hard and fast rule. The distance from the Sun, the comet's composition, its shape, and its albedo all play a role in determining the rate of sublimation.
