Easy theory based on observation,and measurements. First not all comets
have tails. All comets that reach speeds of over 70,000 miles per hour and in the inner planets of the solar system have tails The image of Hale-Bopp comes to mind as being very bright,and with a tail 92,000,000 miles long. It was not the Sun rays reflecting off icy molecules of water. It was the fact that its great speed going through the Sun's solar wind made up of charged particles that was the material,and energy to create those long beautiful bright tails. This thinking tells me comets not racing towards the Sun have no tails. If it was its gases making 100 million mile tails,and reflecting Sun light the poor comets would melt away very fast. The Solar wind will last another 5 billion years,and so will comets Bert |
