AI overview
A comet is a small, icy body from the Solar System that releases gases and dust when it travels near the Sun, creating a glowing atmosphere and sometimes a visible tail. Comets matter because they are natural objects that demonstrate how solar radiation and wind affect matter in space, and their appearance in our sky has made them historically significant to observers on Earth.
