🔺Comet
🔹Comets also orbit the Sun and are relatively small bodies of the solar system.
🔹Made up of ice and hydrocarbons. Comets have an eccentric orbit.
🔹When comets approach the sun, some part of their ice melts and the other materials vaporize due to the heat of the sun.
🔹This results in a glowing halo that extends outwards through space.
🔹Therefore, a thin atmospheric tail is formed when close to the Sun.
