Difference between Comet and Kreutz sungrazer

Comet vs. Kreutz sungrazer

A comet is an icy small Solar System body that, when passing close to the Sun, warms and begins to release gases, a process called outgassing. The Kreutz sungrazers (pronounced kroits) are a family of sungrazing comets, characterized by orbits taking them extremely close to the Sun at perihelion.
