That sounds like the description of a comet. However, please note that comets ONLY have a tail when they are close to the Sun. During most of their orbit, they are too far away from the Sun to have a tail.

What is the difference of a meteor and an asteroid?
An asteroid is a heavenly body which has its own orbit, between mars and jupiter, and revolve around the sun. It is made up of dust and rock. Meteor is also a heavenly body like asteroid but smaller than that.
What is the path of heavenly body revolving around another?
elliptical
What are the things to be considered before saying that a heavenly body is a dwarf planet?
Before classifying a heavenly body as a dwarf planet, considerations include its size (not massive enough to clear its orbit of other debris), its shape (does not have a spherical shape), and its orbit (must orbit the sun and not be a satellite of another planet). These criteria are outlined by the International Astronomical Union for defining dwarf planets.
Is an orbit when one object in space passes in front of another.?
An orbit is usually when one heavenly body makes a complete circle round another. For example: Earth orbits round the Sun.
Path of one body in space around another is?
The circular path is known as an orbit.
What is heavenly bodies that goes around another heavenly body?
Heavenly bodies that orbit around another heavenly body are known as satellites. Examples include the Moon orbiting Earth and the planets orbiting the Sun.
What is an orbit around the sun?
An orbit around the sun is that of a heavenly body, such as a planet, that is mdkjhattracted to the gravitational pull from the sun. The sun is the largest object in the solar system so its gravitational pull is the strongest. The heavenly bodies go around the sun not making a circle, but an oval.
What is the definition of a sataliite?
You may mean 'satellite', it means an object in orbit around a heavenly body, or can means someone who hangs around another all the time.

What is the definition of a heavenly body that circles the sun?
There is no special term except that the object is a member of the solar system. Millions of objects, (heavenly bodies) orbit the sun at varying distances going way out beyond the orbit of Neptune. Just a very very few (8, currently) are classed as planets.
What is the path of one heavenly body moving around another which results from the gravitational force attracting them together?
The path of one heavenly body moving around another due to gravitational attraction is an orbit. Orbits can be elliptical, circular, or parabolic, depending on the speed and direction of the moving body. This motion is governed by Newton's law of universal gravitation.
What words means 'orbit'?
In Latin an orbita is a wheel-rut, so a orbit is perhaps a kind of rut that each planet follows, round and round . . . and round . . .
What is the criteria for selecting any heavenly body as a planet?
The definition of "planet" set in 2006 by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) states that in the Solar System a planet is a celestial body that: # is in orbit around the Sun, # has sufficient mass to assume hydrostatic equilibrium (a nearly round shape), and # has "cleared the neighborhood" around its orbit.
What is a body in orbit around a planet called?
A body in orbit around a planet is called a satellite.
What is the path of heavenly body revolving around another?
elliptical
What is the name of a body in orbit around the sun?
Our Earth is a body that is in orbit round the Sun.
