According to the New York Public Library Writer's Guide to Style and Usage, an appositive is "a word or a phrase that identifies the noun or pronoun that immediately precedes it.".
Appositive phrases in English language explains or identifies the nouns or pronouns in a sentence. If these phrases are not essential to the meaning of the sentence, they are separated with commas.
Example: Amazon is launching Astro, its first household robot, powered by its Alexa smart home technology.
But if you look at your favourite newspapers or websites, nobody cares about these rules. Appositive phrases are aplenty, set off with an opening punctuation like comma, and not closed with the same punctuation.

In an hour the crowd swells and restless conversations will start. Bikes and cars roam around looking for parking space. Someone blows a whistle. People are busy talking to someone on their mobile phones.
Sometimes, there are arguments and shouting until the 'Marshals' arrive to restrain the crowd and enforce the discipline.
Finally the gates will be opened, they walk briskly, and the residents heave a sigh of relief.
By 10.30 a.m. the noise and the crowd disappear and the gates remain closed as if nothing has changed.
