Comets are made of ice, rock, cosmic dust, ammonia, carbon dioxide, methane ice and water. Density will vary depending on it's exact composition. Being that its primary component is water ice, it's specific density will be very close to 1. That is a comet is likely just less dense than water. A large comet if landed softly in the ocean would probably float.

What makes a comet look like a comet?
by its shiny blue trail.
Which heavenly bodies appear in the sky at regular bit long intervals and have a tail?
Comets are the celestial bodies that appear in the sky at regular but long intervals and have a tail. This tail forms as a comet gets closer to the sun, causing ice and dust to vaporize and stream away from the comet, creating a bright extended tail.
Which part of comet is on the opposite side of a comet from the sun?
Solar winds blow the debris of the traveling comet to make it appear it has a tail.
Do comets have a tail throughout their whole orbit?
No. The tail of a comet is just dust and vapor blown away from the comet by the solar wind. It is visible only because it reflects the Sun's light. The closer the comet is to the Sun, the more vapor and dust will be released, and the longer the comet's tail will be.It also depends on our viewing angle to the comet is. If the comet's tail is perpendicular to our line of sight, the comet tail will appear longer. If the comet's tail is pointed toward Earth or away from it, then the tail may appear very short or may not be visible at all.
Why does a comet appear bright when it passes through the inner solar system?
When a comet passes through the inner solar system, it gets closer to the Sun, which causes the Sun's heat to vaporize the comet's icy surface. This creates a glowing cloud of gas and dust around the comet, called a coma, which reflects sunlight and makes the comet appear bright. Additionally, as the comet moves closer to Earth, it may also appear brighter in the night sky.
What is a heavenly body with a fiery tail called?
A heavenly body with a fiery tail is called a comet. Comets are icy bodies that heat up and release gas and dust as they approach the Sun, creating a glowing tail that can be seen from Earth.

Why does halleys comet appear?
Halley's comet appears because it is a comet that orbits the Sun. It as a highly elliptical (oval) orbit which makes it seem to fly out of the solar system and back.
Why does Halley's comet appear when it does?

How often does halley comet appear and why?
About once every 76 years.
Does Halley's comet appear every 75 -76 years?
Yes.
What make's the comet's light up?
The sun makes a comet appear bright. A comet is usually made up of ice and rock. The ice reflects the light of the sun very well.
Which part of comet is on the opposite side of a comet from the sun?
Solar winds blow the debris of the traveling comet to make it appear it has a tail.
