Why do comets have long tails?
by collecting more material and growing bigger
Nebular model
When small particles collide and stick together
Stony
A Mars-sized object collided with Earth causing it to lose part of its mantle which started to orbit the Earth
Meteoroids enter Earth's atmosphere and burn up, meteorites collide with Earth's surface
Meteors, asteroids, comets, and satellites
As they near the sun, the radiation heats up the comet giving off gases in the form of a long tail
