Why is comet called the tailed star?
  • 1 answers

Meghna Thapar 5 years, 6 months ago

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. As a comet gets close to a star, it begins to boil of some of its ice, this gives the comet a tail, and since it's so diffuse and wide spread it can reflect a lot of light, this is why it would appear bright like a star.
