A sungrazing comet is a type of comet that travels very close to the Sun's surface, typically within a few hundred thousand miles. As it approaches the Sun, the intense heat causes the comet's icy nucleus to vaporize and release gas and dust, creating a bright and often spectacular tail that is visible from Earth. Sungrazing comets belong to the Kreutz family of comets and are usually one-time visitors to our solar system, as the extreme heat and tidal forces from the Sun can cause them to disintegrate or be expelled from the solar system entirely.
