What else can I help you with?
What is the glowing head of comets called?
It is called a Coma.
Why don't asteroids and meteors do not have a coma?
Because they do not have volatiles in them to form a coma as to comets.
What are the 3 parts of comets?
Nucleus coma tail
What do we see comets as?
Comets are seen as bright, icy bodies that orbit the Sun. When they get closer to the Sun, they release gas and dust in a glowing coma and often develop a tail that points away from the Sun due to solar wind.
What is the coma of comets?
A cloud of gas surrounding the nucleus.

What are the parts to comets?
1-nucleus 2-coma 3-tail
What three things are comets made of?
Comets are made of mainly 3 parts -dust tail, ion tail and coma
How are meteorides and comets different?
comets have a halo/coma/tail surrounding and behind it caused by evaporation of ice. Metorides dont have this. Comets have high eccentrical orbits, meteroides not as much.
Is there a state of awareness during a coma?
Yes there is, during the state of a coma the person is able to hear but not see feel or anything else but hear
Why comets show a perceptible coma while asteroids do not?
Beacuse asteroids are chunks of solid rock - Comets are primarily lumps of ice - which melts as it nears the sun !
What do you call a clould of dust and gas that forms around a comets nucleus do to solar heating?
coma
What is the coma of comets?
A cloud of gas surrounding the nucleus.
Do comets have their own light?
No. The light we see from comets is reflected sunlight. Comets are composed of ice and dust, and do not give off any radiation, visible or otherwise. Because of their high ice content, and the water vapor they trail as they travel toward the sun, they are highly reflective.
