rock, ice and gas!!
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.
comaThe tail. This is comprised of whatever the comet was made of, but is now being burnt off by the sun. ( the tail of a comet always points away from the sun.)
A comet has a tail composed of gases and dust. As a comet travels through space, it heats up, causing the gases and dust to vaporize and form a glowing tail that points away from the Sun due to solar wind.
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.
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! :)

A comet has a tail composed of gases and dust. As a comet travels through space, it heats up, causing the gases and dust to vaporize and form a glowing tail that points away from the Sun due to solar wind.
The three main parts of a comet are the nucleus (solid core made of ice and dust), coma (gaseous envelope surrounding the nucleus), and tails (two types, ion tail composed of ionized gas and dust tail made of dust particles).

The comet's tail is in front of the comet, not after
The coma, the nucleus, and the tail are the parts of a comet after the tail has formed.
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.
Venus is a planet, not a comet, so it does not have a tail.
