Comet is derived from 'cometes' which is a Latin word. This in turn has been derived from 'Kometes' which is Greek for 'long haired'. This also means stars with hair according to Aristotle's derivation.
The name comet came from the Greek word komē meaning "hair of the head". Aristotle used this word to mean a luminous tail of a comet. Aristotle also used the derivation komētēs meaning "wearing long hair" to use as a noun meaning comet and to describe comets as "stars with hair". This Greek word was adopted as the Latin word comētēs and later comēta. Comēta is the earliest English forebear of the now "comet".
They come from the outer reaches of space.
The particles of energy in a comet mainly come from the solar wind interacting with the comet's nucleus and surrounding coma. The solar wind is a stream of charged particles emitted by the Sun that affects the comet's ion tail and can cause energy release through processes like ionization and excitation.
