Answer:
Comet tails will always point away from the sun because of the radiation pressure of sunlight. The force from sunlight on the small dust particles pushing them away from the sun is greater than the force of gravity acting in the direction toward the sun.

Answer:
As the comet gets closer to the Sun, the coma grows. The solar winds push the dust and gas away from the coma causing them to stream off into space to form the comet's tail. The solar winds cause the comet's tail to point away from the Sun.
