Comets are like snowballs from space. They're made of ice, dust, and rocks. When they get close to the Sun, the heat melts the ice, creating a glowing tail that shines in the sky. That's why they look so bright when we see them from Earth.
Examples
- A comet is like a glowing snowball that leaves a trail of light as it zooms past Earth.
- When a comet gets close to the Sun, it starts to glow and leave a tail behind, just like when you melt an ice cube on a hot day.
- Sometimes comets are so bright they can be seen even during the day.
