Answer:
A comet is a ball of ice and dirt hurtling through space, it shines only because it reflects light. As a comet gets close to a star, it begins to boil of some of its ice, this gives the comet a tail, and since it's so diffuse and wide spread it can reflect a lot of light, this is why it would appear bright like a star.
