The comet's "tail" is a stream of dust and vapors that melt and get pushed out
of the comet by radiation pressure from the sun. The tail appears only when the
comet is relatively near the sun, it's longest when the comet is nearest the sun,
and it always points away from the sun, no matter which way the comet is moving.
A comet's tail is pushed away from the comet by solar wind. if the comet is moving away from the sun, the tail will be pushed ahead of its trajectory.
Comets are celestial objects that have tails and move around the sun. When a comet is moving toward the sun, its tail points toward the sun.
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.
Comets and asteroids are the same, but differ in the fact that comets have surface activity with their characteristic tail.
All comets have tails when their proximity to the sun is such that the icy debris in the comet is warmed enough to melt and fall away from the comet.

A Comets tail points away from the sun.
you can tell a comet as it has a tail of ice
Comets are celestial objects that have tails and move around the sun. When a comet is moving toward the sun, its tail points toward the sun.
The comet's tail is in front of the comet, not after
Because the comet is going so fast there looks like the comet has 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.

All comets have tails when their proximity to the sun is such that the icy debris in the comet is warmed enough to melt and fall away from the comet.
The tail of the comet is made up of melting ice. When the comet gets close to the sun, the melted ice becomes the gaseous tail.
A comet's tail will always extend away from the Sun, even when going away from the Sun.
A comet's tail lengthens as it approaches the sun due to greater solar winds. A comets tail always faces away from the sun.
