Where do comets form?
Comets have two main sources, the Oort Cloud or the Kuiper Belt
Comets and stars?
Comets are small bodies of rock and ice which are in a highly eccentric orbit around the sun, which is a star. There are thought to be other comets orbiting other stars, but we would not be able to detect them from earth.
Why don't asteroids and meteors do not have a coma?
Because they do not have volatiles in them to form a coma as to comets.
How do comets become electrical?
Comets become electrical as they pass nearby the sun. The electrically charged ions form a tail on the comet that helps to propel it away from the sun.
Where did comets that are now in the Kuiper belt originally form?
near the radius at which they orbit today

Balls or ice dust rocks and gases form these?
They are known as comets.
Do comets have dust?
Yes they do - they're mainly composed of tiny particles of 'space dust' and ice. When they get close to the sun. The 'solar wind' causes these microscopic particles on the comet's surface to detach and form the familiar 'tail'

What are chunks of rock or dust that form comets?
In the "nebular hypothesis", clouds of gas and dust can lead to the formation of "planetesimals". Some of these become comets. So I think the question refers to "planetesimals".
How are meteors asteroids and comets the same and different?
well meteors are usually boiling like comets, however asteroids are usually a formation of gas and ice but they all form in outer space
What is a comets presence and form of water?
