Which of the following statements about comets is true? PLZ HLEP ASAP
erastova [34]

Answer:

Answer choice B.

Explanation:

Comets are usually made up of ice, dust, and gas, meaning that options A and D are wrong. Also, as a comet approaches the sun, its particles heat up so quickly that they don't have time to become liquid; they turn straight from solid to gas. This makes them very visible when they come near the sun. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Hope this helps!
