hally's comet go to the center of the galaxy and come with tall tail carry the ions and hydrogen and dust and carry them until it becomes above the sun the gravity of the sun attract the materials to complete the burning until the comet hally comes in the next time ????( what do you think ) this is exactly the truth

You are a little mixed up.

The comet never goes to the center of the Galaxy. It orbits the Sun in a very elongated elliptical orbit, retracing the same orbit over and over once every 76 years. During the one or two years when it is in the part of its orbit near the Sun, ice melts and evaporates from the comet and dust gets blown off by the solar wind to make a long tail that always points away from the Sun. There can be two tails; the dust tail and the ion tail. The dust tail is just dust blown off the comet by the solar wind. The ion tail is thin gas evaporated from the comet and ionized by the solar wind as it to gets blown away from the comet. The solar wind is just a small amount of very thin gas that the sun constantly throws off into space.

Halley's comet is a part of our solar system, and never goes anywhere near the centre of the galaxy. Our galaxy is 100,000 light years across. There is no way Halley's comet could go to the centre and back in 76 years without violating the lightspeed limit of the Universe.

The way comets work is very well known. I suggest you look it up.
