Because... they're mainly composed of ice and dust. When they get close enough to be affected by the Sun - the stream of particles forming the 'tail' is formed from ice crystals and dust particles.
comets are known to be dirty snowballs.
because they are made of rocky balls and ice.
Yes, chunks of ice with bits of rock and dust are sometimes called dirty snowballs. These objects are known as comets and they originate from the outer regions of the solar system. The dust and rock fragments give them their characteristic appearance.
Comets are also referred to as dirty snowballs. They are made up of ice, dust, and rocky material, and when they approach the Sun, the ice begins to melt and create a glowing coma around the solid nucleus.
Comets are icy bodies in space that release gas and dust. They are often compared to dirty snowballs, though recent research has led some scientists to call them dirty snowballs. Comets contain dust, ice, carbon dioxide, ammonia, methane and more.
no they are called dirty snowballs because they are rocky and made out of ice
comets are known to be dirty snowballs.
Asteroids are sometimes called," Dirty Snowballs".

Dirty snowballs
Comets can be described as "Dirty Snowballs" and are composed of rock, dust, water ice, and frozen gases.
(Comets are said to be "dirty snowballs")
over 1500 coets have been seen over 200 years we wont see comet hale bop until year 4395! a comet is made from ice dust and rock! these are called dirty snowballs
No, snowballs are made of ice particles that melt in the vacuum of space. However, comets are sometimes described as "dirty snowballs" because they are a mix of ice and dust particles.
dirty snowballs or "icy mudballs
Comets are small, fragile, irregularly shaped bodies composed of a mixture of non-volatile grains and frozen gases. Comets are composed of rock, dust, ice and frozen gases such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, methane, and ammonia. Sometimes called dirty snowballs, recent studies have shown that the ice of a comet is covered by a crust.
