Did you know that comets are often called 'dirty snowballs'?
That’s because they’re made of ice, dust, and rock left over from the early solar system!
When they get close to the Sun, the heat causes the ice to vaporize, creating the glowing coma
and tail we see from Earth.
Some comets even have two tails—one made of gas and another of dust!

Comets come from two distant regions of our solar system: the Kuiper Belt and the Oort Cloud.
The Kuiper Belt is a ring of icy bodies beyond Neptune, while the Oort Cloud is a vast,
mysterious sphere of icy objects even farther out.
When a comet gets knocked out of these regions, it begins its long journey toward the Sun.
Some take thousands of years to complete an orbit!
