4. Comets When a comets passes by the sun it goes from a solid to a liquid due to the intense heat. As it transforms it releases gas and dust which creates a transparent circle around it which makes the comet more visible. The coma takes in more light then it reflects it but it does reflect a small amount. The dust tail is the coolest part of a comet often being striped with different colors from different types of gases. The dust tail always faces the opposite direction of the sun because it makes an opposite force. The dust tails are gases, particles, and cosmic dust that are forced back from the coma from the opposite force, but still held in by the pull of the nucleus (center), creating an amazing thing to see across the sky.
