Question

The sun's energy turns the ice in the core of the comet to gas, and the solar wind pushes the gas away from the sun. The tail then reflects the light of the sun.

True or False

Answer 1

I think this should be true...

As a comet gets closer to the sun, the ice on the surface of the nucleus begins turning into gas, forming a cloud known as the coma. ... Since comet tails are shaped by sunlight and the solar wind, they always point away from the sun.
