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! :)


What is the necleus of a comet?

What are comets tails made up of?

Comet tails are made of parts of the comet, such as ice and water vapor, pieces of rock and dust, and whatever else the comet itself happens to be made of that have broken or evaporated off due to solar wind. This is why the comet trail always trails in a direction that is directly opposite from the sun and not necessarily directly behind the path of the comet itself. A comet can also have two types of tails. A dust tail, and ion tail. The ion tail is made of electrically charged particles...ions. The center of a comet is called a nucleus.


What is the surface of a comet made up of?

The surface of a comet is primarily made up of dust, rock, and ice. This mixture forms a layer called the coma, which is the thin outer crust covering the rocky and icy nucleus of the comet. Additionally, comets can also contain organic compounds and other volatile materials.


Is comet is living thing?
