What are comets?

Comets are celestial bodies constituted by ice, dust and rocks that orbit around the Sun, after having been altered by the Oort cloud; following different trajectories that can be highly eccentric elliptical (periodic trajectories), parabolic or hyperbolic.

One of the main characteristics of a comet is that it travels quite fast, on its way around the Sun and has a long tail. It should be noted that the tails of comets always go in the opposite direction to the Sun (due to the radiation pressure of sunlight).
