<p>Can the tail of a comet cast a shadow?</p><p>If a comet passed between the earth and the sun, could it block the sun for a few days?</p><p> </p><p>Yes, I know that the sun is many times the size of a comets tail. But I also know that a comets tail is much larger than the earth.</p><p> It would have to come close to the earth on the sun side at just the right angle to cause a lasting shadow. </p> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
