What causes the tail of a comet to become visible?

a. earth

b. moon

c. sun

d. asteroids

The correct answer is option C. Sun.

Explanation:

The tail of a comet as well as the comma are visible thanks to the influence of sunlight on these objects.

If there is a case that these objects cross the inner Solar System, then they will be visible from Earth. The reason why this occurs is that as the comet approaches the internal solar system, the materials that are inside the comet vaporize and flow out of the nucleus thanks to solar radiation, and while they do carry dust with them.

This dust is the one that reflects sunlight directly, while the gases shine because of ionization.

Usually we will need a telescope to see a comet, although there are some that can be seen with the naked eye.

-first use of geothermal energy occurred more than 10,000 years ago in north america by american paleo-indians

-the first industrial use of geothermal energy began near pisa, italy in late 18th century

-in 1904, italian scientist piero ginori conti invented the first geothermal electric power plant in which steam was used to generate the power

-with the above experiment, the first geothermal plant in usa started in 1922 with a capacity of 250 kilowatts

-however, in 1946 first ground-source geothermal heat pump installed at commonwealth building in portland, oregon

-during the 1960’s, pacific gas and electric began operation of first large scale geothermal power plant in san francisco, producing 11 megawatts

-in 1973, when oil crisis began many countries began looking for renewable energy sources and by 1980’s geothermal heat pumps (ghp) started gaining popularity in order to reduce heating and cooling costs

-as effect of climate change started showing results, governments of various countries joined hands to fight against it, for which kyoto protocol was signed in japan in 1997, laid out emission targets for rich countries and required that they transfer funds and technology to developing countries, 184 countries have ratified it
