SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -The Sun’s heat vaporizes some of the comet’s material, releasing dust particles that were trapped in the ice. A combination of solar radiation pressure and solar wind blow away gas and dust from the comet’s nucleus, forming two separate tails: the ion tail and the dust tail.

Detailed explanation-2: -The tail of dust is left behind in the comet’s orbit in such a manner that it often forms a curved tail called the antitail, only when it seems that it is directed towards the Sun.

Detailed explanation-3: -Coma. As a comet gets closer to the sun, the ice on the surface of the nucleus begins turning into a gas via a process called sublimation, forming a cloud around the comet known as the coma.
