Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -When far from the sun, a comet is like a stone rolling around the universe. But when it approaches the sun, the heat evaporates the comet’s gases, causing it to emit dust and microparticles (electrons and ions). These materials form a tail whose flow is affected by the sun’s radiation pressure.
