C is for Comet

Definition: A ball of dust and gas going around the sun with a tail of light. Comets are balls of dust with a red, yellow, and orange tail of light that soar through the night sky rarely but when you do see it, it looks like it’s moving very smoothly. My comet will be a red, yellow, and orange ball of dust with a tail of light.
