Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Comets are large objects made of dust and ice that orbit the Sun. Best known for their long, streaming tails, these ancient objects are leftovers from the formation of the solar system 4.6 billion years ago.
Detailed explanation-2: -Comet Tails Gases escaping from the comet are ionized by the ultraviolet photons from the Sun. Once they are ionized, the solar wind carries them straight outward away from the Sun. These gases form the plasma tail.
Detailed explanation-3: -The solid, core structure of a comet is known as the nucleus. Cometary nuclei are composed of an amalgamation of rock, dust, water ice, and frozen carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, methane, and ammonia.
