When the plasma tail of a comet sweeps past the Earth, it may cause geomagnetic storms. In this paper, in addition to analysis of this phenomenon, a specific theoretical investigation of the comet tail as the storm source is made. It is found that the tail is capable of storing a large amount of magnetic energy and that the interaction between the tail and the Earth's magnetosphere can lead to magnetic storms. Finally, a simple discussion is made on other possible mechanisms.
