The tail of a comet would appear to become longer as it gets closer to the Sun. When a comet approaches the Sun, the heat causes the icy nucleus to sublimate, releasing gas and dust, which form the comet's tail. This tail always points away from the Sun due to the solar wind and radiation pressure.
