Would a comet in a binary star system have two tails? 

It's my understanding that a comets tail is caused by solar winds, so I'm wondering if a comet interacting with solar winds from multiple stars would have multiple tails?

The tails *are* caused by solar winds, but having two star would *not* cause there to be two tails.

When you have one star, the force acting on the comet's dust is basically in one direction (unless you go across vast distances), and grows weaker with distance.

When you have two stars, you just get two forces, you add them up to get the result, and the tail would fly in that direction with that push.
