are small, fragile, irregularly shaped bodies composed of a mixture of
non-volatile grains and frozen gases. They are natural objects of space. In our
solar system, they have highly elliptical orbits that bring them very close to
the Sun and swing them deeply into space, often beyond the orbit of Pluto.

As comets approach the
Sun, they develop enormous tails of luminous material that extend for millions
of kilometers from the head, away from the Sun. When far from the Sun, the
nucleus is very cold and its material is frozen solid within the nucleus. In
this state comets are sometimes referred to as a "dirty iceberg" or
"dirty snowball," since over half of their material is ice. When a
comet approaches within a few AU's
of a star, the surface of the nucleus begins to
warm, and volatiles evaporate.
