The given statement “ The comet cools down and begins to glow brightly as a result of this decreased temperature is false” since according to study, the glow emitted by the comet is due to the reflection from the sun's light energy, hence the decrease in the comet's temperature has no direct connection with the glow that the comet is emitting. The glow in the comet's tail and comas are usually the light that is absorbed from the sun, due to the fact that it is exposed in the open space, with the sun as the center.
Final answer:
False
