I WONDER - What Are The Different Parts of a Comet?

The video tutorial explains the main components of a comet: the nucleus, coma, hydrogen envelope, and tails. The nucleus is the solid core made of dust, rock, and frozen gases. The coma forms when a comet approaches the sun, causing the icy nucleus to release gas and dust. The hydrogen envelope surrounds the coma. Comets have two tails, an iron tail and a dust tail, which lengthen as they near the sun.

What are the four main components of a comet?

• Rock, Ice, Gas, Light

• Head, Body, Legs, Tail

• Core, Atmosphere, Water, Dust

• Nucleus, Coma, Hydrogen Envelope, Tail

What is the nucleus of a comet primarily made of?

• Metal and Liquid

• Gas and Light

• Water and Ice

• Dust, Rock, and Frozen Gases

How is a coma formed around a comet?

• By the comet's interaction with other comets

• When the comet's icy material turns to gas and dust

• Through the absorption of sunlight

• By the collision with asteroids

What surrounds the coma of a comet?

• A layer of ice

• A cloud of dust

• A hydrogen envelope

• A ring of fire

What happens to a comet's tail as it approaches the sun?

• It gets shorter

• It changes color

• It disappears

• It gets longer
