What would happen if the earth were to pass through the tail of a comet?

Solution

The density of the gases in the comet’s tail is very less and hence the passage of the Earth through the tail of a comet will not cause any harm to the living creatures on the Earth. However, one can observe a very attractive sight of meteor shower.
