A comet's tail results from the increased speed that a comet attains as it nears the Sun, leaving some particles behind because of the acceleration of the main mass of the comet.
a. true
b. false

Respuesta :

It’s true. Because it breaks down as it enters our atmosphere.

Comets, which are made up of frozen gases, rock, and dust, orbit the Sun like cosmic snowballs. When a comet gets close enough to the Sun, it heats up and spews dust and gases into a giant flaming head the size of most planets.

So, the statement is True.

When comets approach the Sun:

  • Some of the ice melts and boils away, along with dust particles, as the comet approaches the Sun.

  • When these particles and gases build a cloud around the nucleus, a coma develops.

  • The dust and gases create a long tail that extends millions of kilometers from the Sun.

  • There are billions of comets orbiting our Sun in the Kuiper Belt and even further beyond the Oort Cloud.
