Away from the sunThe Tail of a Comet always points Away from the Sun.
A comet's tail points away from the Sun. This happens because the solar wind pushes the comet's gas and dust particles away from the Sun, forming a tail that always points in the opposite direction of the Sun.
Comets
The ion tail of a comet always points directly away from the sun due to the solar wind pushing charged particles emitted by the comet.

A Comets tail points away from the sun.
A comet's tail points away from the Sun. This happens because the solar wind pushes the comet's gas and dust particles away from the Sun, forming a tail that always points in the opposite direction of the Sun.
The pressure of the sun's light shining on the wispy gasses vaporizing from the comet's head push the tail of the comet away from the sun. While it looks like the "tail" of the comet is trailing behind, the tail always points away from the Sun. So after the comet's perihelion (the closest approach to the Sun) the "tail" is actually LEADING the comet!
None. Comets have a tail, but that's not "usually", only when they are close to the Sun (which is when we see them, of course). Most of the time, when they are far away from the Sun, they have no tail. The tail is caused by the solar wind.
