Explanation

A comet is a medium-sized icy object that orbits the Sun and develops a characteristic tail of gas and dust when it approaches the inner solar system. Comets are composed of frozen gases, ice, and dust. Stars are massive luminous objects, planets are larger rocky or gaseous bodies, and asteroids are primarily rocky rather than icy.
