What is a Comet?

What is a Comet?

Comets are big balls of ice and rock, leftovers from the beginning of the Solar System, billions of years ago. As comets get close to the Sun, they start melting. The melted ice becomes a gas tail that points away from the Sun. This happens because the Sun’s heat produces a wind called “solar wind” which pushes the tail out.
