Described as a dirty snowball what is composed of ice frozen gases and rock?
A dirty snowball is a comet, which is composed of ice, frozen gases (such as carbon dioxide, methane, ammonia), and rock. When a comet travels close to the Sun, the heat causes the ices to vaporize, creating the tail that we see from Earth.

Why is a comet called a dirty snowball?
Comets are often referred to as "dirty snowballs" because they are a mixture of ice, dust, and rocky particles. As a comet travels closer to the sun, the ice sublimates, releasing gas and creating a glowing coma (atmosphere) and tail. The appearance of a comet can resemble a snowball covered in dirt due to this process.

What is comet made of?
A comet is often described by Astronomers as a 'Dirty Snowball'. This is because a comet comprises of Ice, from frozen gases mixed with dust and other particulate matter, collected on its orbital path.
What is the dirty snowball theory?
What are comets made of? Gravity holds stars and planets together, but what holds the other (little stuff) together. Ionic bonds. And it turns out that are only 3 that seem to work: Water (ice), Silicon oxide rock, and ferromagnetic metals (iron, nickel, cobalt). Comets don't seem to have much metal, so "dirty snow-ball". In 1949, Fred Lawrence Whipple theorized that the nucleus of a comet is made of frozen water, rocky debris, and frozen gases. This was called the "icy comglomerate" theory and is now known as the "dirty snowball" theory. However, in 1999, the Stardust spacecraft was launched and in 2004 it retrieved tiny particles from the comet Wild-2's surface and came back two years later in a capsule, landing in Utah. Minerals that formed in the presence of liquid water were discovered, proving that, at some point, pockets of water had existed on the comet. This disproved the "dirty snowball" theory.
