Answer 2

Hello There. A The gravity of jupiter pulls it away from the Sun.

Step-by-step explanation:

The streams of dust and gas thus released form a huge, extremely tenuous atmosphere around the comet called the coma, and the force exerted on the coma by the Sun's radiation pressure and solar wind cause an enormous tail to form, which points away from the Sun.
