its not the head of comet always faces de sun but its the tail that will b formed always away 4m de direction of sun. that's y u`ll c as if head is always towards de sun. n tail is formed by water vapour n dust from comets surface . as de comet moves around de sun a pseudo force called centrifugal force acts on these particles in de direction away from de sun so they flow in that direction n forms de tail which makes de actual comet look like head which is always towards de sun.

The main cause why the comet's head always faces the sun?

The tail of a comet always points away from the Sun, no matter which direction the comet is moving. This is because the Sun heats the comet up and blasts away the 'dirty ice' it's composed of, creating a tail that streams away from the Sun.This means that a comet can actually be travelling such that it's tail is ahead of it.


What pushes particles in a comets tail?

The pressure of the sun's light shining on the wispy gasses vaporizing from the comet's head push the tail of the comet away from the sun. While it looks like the "tail" of the comet is trailing behind, the tail always points away from the Sun. So after the comet's perihelion (the closest approach to the Sun) the "tail" is actually LEADING the comet!

Why is a comets tail is in front of the comet?

A comet's tail is always pointed away from the Sun due to the solar wind. As the comet moves closer to the Sun, solar radiation and solar wind push the dust and gas away from the comet, creating the tail that appears to extend ahead of the comet in its orbit.


How far is Hayley's comet from the sun?

Hayley's comet is not always the same distance from the sun. This is because it has an elliptical orbit. When the comet is closest to the sun the ice begins to burn up forming the tail.


Does a comet always have a tail?

The tail is actually moving away from the comet. The solar wind pushes the dust and ice particles away from the comet as it melts. The ice particles reflects the light from the sun allowing us to see the tail. In fact, the comet's tail is never behind it. It is always to one side of its direction of travel.


The tail of a comet always points away from the sun because of?
