Isn't this thing relatively small to cause something like that? IMO, I'd expect it to have no direct effect on the Sun at all.

and what could happen when we pass through the tail as the comet will pass directly through earth's orbit path were ignored over a handful of ignorant questions at the kindergarden level of 'all gravity' space awareness.
What happened when the Earth has passed through previous comets tails? We're all still here, right?


That said, I'm not expecting anything one would notice, unless your looking for it and happen to be at the right part of earth at the right time.
That's what I'm expecting too.
...but it'd be cool if it brightened to the point of prominence in the sky. I'd actually like to see a daytime comet.
