About this document
Understanding Comets: Structure and Types by FârøøqRøćkź is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Comets are icy, dusty objects that originate far from the sun. They are composed of ice, dust, and small rocky particles. When near the sun, comets develop comas from sublimating ices and tails from the solar wind pushing dust and ions away from the nucleus. Comet tails can be different colors depending on their chemical composition and interaction with the solar wind.
