Question
- why do comets have tails?
solar wind
jupiters gravity
earths magnetic field
the suns gravity
Brief Explanations
Comets have tails because when they approach the Sun, solar radiation and solar wind (charged particles from the Sun) push dust and gas away from the comet, forming a tail that points away from the Sun. Jupiter's gravity affects comet orbits, Earth's magnetic field impacts near-Earth space, and the Sun's gravity keeps comets in orbit—none of these form the tail.
