Answer:
Explanation:
A comet is basically a dirty snowball. When it gets close to the sun volatile materials evaporate.
The sun is constantly emitting streams of particle which are known as the solar wind.
The solar wind pushes the gases around the comet away from the sun which forms the comet's tail.

Answer:the tail of a comet is mainly water vapour and other gases. The second tail is is usually dust particles. They point away from the sun because they have virtually no mass and so they stream out away from the sun because of the solar wind (charged particles blasted out in to space by the sun) and the tail always points away from the sun even when the comet is moving away from the sun
