¿Qué son los cometas?

Comets are icy bodies formed from particles clumped together after the formation of gas giant planets. They orbit the Sun, with long-period comets taking over 200 years and short-period comets taking less than 200 years. Comets have a nucleus and develop tails as they approach the Sun, due to evaporation. Over time, comets lose material and eventually disintegrate.

Describe the two types of tails that comets have.

What is the fate of comets as they continue to orbit the Sun?
