A compound contains atoms of different elements chemically combined together in a fixed ratio. An element is a pure chemical substance made of same type of atom.
It's actually made or gas and dust that can extend hundreds of millions of kilometers away from the coma. most comets actually have two tails a plasma tell made of ionized gas and a dust tail made of small solid particles.
Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body while in motion. Potential energy on the other hand is the energy possessed by a body based on its position.
Kinetic energy of a body is determined by the equation; K.E = 3RT/2;
From the equation, kinetic energy is directly proportional to the temperature of the system and therefore an increase in the kinetic energy of a sample causes an increase in temperature of the system.
