What is a small icy object that can have a tail 10 million km long?
A small icy object that can have a tail up to 10 million kilometers long is a comet. Comets are composed of ice, dust, and rocky material, and when they approach the Sun, the heat causes their icy components to vaporize, creating a glowing coma and a spectacular tail that always points away from the Sun due to solar wind and radiation pressure. This tail can become extraordinarily long, sometimes extending millions of kilometers into space.
How does the length of a kite's tail effect the way it flies?
A tail will steady a kite, help stop it from darting around. The longer the tail the more a kite will sit in one place.
How does the length of a kite tail affect the way it flies?
The tail causes drag and keeps the kite stable. By pulling down, on the part of the kite it is attached to, it keeps it orientated upright and more stable.The longer the tail, the more drag. A short tail, may not be enough in a strong wind to stabilise the kite. A tail that is too long, may cause difficulties in getting it off the ground in a light wind.

Does the design of the tail of its kite affects ITS FLIGHT?
Yes. The pointeir the tail, the more streamlined the kite. Therefore the faster and higher the height travels'
Can comets tail be miles long?
Most comet tails are millions of miles long, for example the Halley's comet, with a tail stretching 50 million kilometers. As well as the Great Comet of 1843, the tail reaching 2 AU in length. (One AU is about 150 000 000km)
Do comets or asteroids have a gas tail?
Comets!
How long is a comets tail?
A comet's tail can vary in length, but it can extend from tens of thousands to millions of kilometers. The tail is mainly composed of dust and gas particles that are released as the comet approaches the Sun and interaction with solar wind pushes the material away from the comet's nucleus.
What three things are comets made of?
Comets are made of mainly 3 parts -dust tail, ion tail and coma
This has a tail when it is near to the sun?

What did the tail of comet points?

What are celestial comets?
Celestial comets is a more formal name for comets. Comets are objects in space orbiting the Sun with long orbits. They are thought to be made of frozen water. As they near the Sun they produce a long glowing tail trailing behind.
Can a comets tail be hundreds of millions of kilometers long?
Sure. As a comet approaches the sun, the comet sheds some of its material, which trails behind it for millions of kilometers. It is this tail that is the most visible part of a comet. In fact, the word comet means "hairy star," referring to the long, streaming tail. In 1910, the earth actually passed through the tail of Halley's Comet.
Why do comets develop a tail?
