How does the sun create a tail on a comet?
The sun creates a tail on a comet because of solar radiation and solar wind on the nucleus of the comet. A comet is an icy body that is seen when it passes close to the sun.
What is the icy rock that has a bright tail when it close to the sun?
a comet
What is a comet halo?
A comet halo is a fuzzy, diffuse region of glowing gas and dust that surrounds the nucleus of a comet. It is typically visible when the comet is close to the sun and is heated, causing the gas and dust to glow and create a bright halo effect around the nucleus.
What blows the tails of the comet out?
Solar wind - i.e., particles coming from the Sun.
Which object comes close to the sun but also found far from the sun in a highly elliptical orbit?
A comet is an object that comes close to the sun in a highly elliptical orbit but can also be found far from the sun in its journey through space. Comets are composed of ice, dust, and rock, and as they approach the sun, they develop a glowing coma and tail due to the heat.
What is a sun-grazing comet?
it is a comet that comes super close to the sun. Or that collides with it and disinagrates.

A comet's tail grows larger as it?
A comet (a dirty snowball) is a mix of ice, dirt and rock. It orbits is a wide oval coming closest to the sun at it's perigee It's apogee is it's farthest point. As a comet comes close to the sun, the ice sublimates (turns directly from ice into steam). When a comet comes closest to the sun the tail is largest.
What is an icy rock that has bright tail when it comes close to the sun?
It is called a comet. The tail is formed out of gases and particles as it melts on its path round the Sun.

Which solar system object has an orbit that comes very close to the sun at one end and goes far away from the sun at the other end?
A comet
How a comet changes when it comes close to the Sun.?
As a comet nears the sun, a tail forms from the solar wind blowing off dust particles from the comet. The tail lengthens as the solar wind intensifies and the comet approaches closer and closer. In some cases, comets have been known to collide with the sun, fragment, or completely burn away due to the sun.
When a comet is close to the sun is it faster or slower than when it is far away from the sun?
The comet enters the sun's orbit with a constant velocity.
What happened to comet ISON?
Comet ISON disintegrated after passing too close to the sun.
How close is the nearest comet to the sun?
723 Miles
When did Halley's comet most recently pass around the sun?
Halley's Comet is still orbiting the Sun. It was close to Earth in 1986.
