Yes! All the time. Although comets tend to have very elongated orbits which bring them close to the sun which slingshots them far out into space and back again. NASA's Jet Propulsion laboratory has a great site for tracking objects in our solar system. solarsystem.nasa.gov/eyes/

Do any comets pass through earth?
your mom which is Austin jung hahahahahaha
Why are there so many meteorites near earth?
There are hardly any comets, meteorites or asteroids near earth. There are only a few that are millions of kilometers from earth. There are a few that pass earth a bit closer because of the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
Will the next comet cause the coasts to flood within 100 miles inland?
There are comets around all the time. In order to have this much of a cataclysmic effect, it would need to pass very close to the earth, if not hit it entirely. At the moment, we do not know of any comets on this trajectory.
Is it possible comets may have any influence in the earths' weather or cycles even the orbit variances?
Comets have a very low mass compared to Earth, so any affect they will have on Earth is from impacts which will affect the global weather.
Would earth have any oceans if it weren't for impacts from comets from the outer solar system?
Yes
Are any comet strikes a source of the ocean water?
I don't think any COMETS have struck the earth, but METEORITES have. Comets are icy balls of gas and dust that fly around the sun like Halley's comet.
Why does Mars have water?
Nobody truly knows. It is likely that - as is the case for the Earth - any water was 'delivered' there by comets.
What planets do you past to get to the moon?
You don't pass any. There' nothing in space between Earth and moon except maybe a few meteoroids. The planet that is able to come closest to Earth is Venus. When Venus is as close to Earth as it can ever get, it's more than 100 times farther away than the moon ever is.
Are there currently any visible comets in your solar system?
There are no visible comets at this time.
Does the sun have any comets?
NO
What comet will pass close to the earth in 2010?
This question was posted on September 3, 2011, so the year 2010 is already in the history books. I don't recall any especially impressive comets in 2010. But basically, there are several new, never-before seen comets (or long-period comets last seen during the reign of the Pharaohs, like Hale-Bopp) for which we have no orbital knowledge, that appear each year. Once the comet has been seen three times, we can calculate an orbit, and determine, more or less, where it will be at any future date. But until then, it's a mystery.
Is the earth any heavier now then when it started?
Yes. It is heavier through the bombardment by meteors, asteroids, comets, and another planet (which led to the formation of the Moon).
