Well it dosen't turn around it comes around once every 71 years so next time we'll see it in the U.S. is in 2061.

How is a comet different from a asteroid?
An asteroid is hunks of rock or metal a comet is ice and as it gets closer to the sun it turns to water vapor as it gets further it turns back to ice.
How many times has Halley's Comet been seen?
I think it turns up every 88 years or so...... I know the last time it came around I saw somethig of it.....but when that was I cannot remember !
What ice of the comet turns into gas?
All ices on comets sublime to gas as it approaches toe sun.
What were the names of the 5 roller coasters at Riverview?
Silver Flash Blue Streak Comet Flying Turns Bobs Fireball
A comet's tail grows larger as it?
A comet (a dirty snowball) is a mix of ice, dirt and rock. It orbits is a wide oval coming closest to the sun at it's perigee It's apogee is it's farthest point. As a comet comes close to the sun, the ice sublimates (turns directly from ice into steam). When a comet comes closest to the sun the tail is largest.
Will Halley's Comet still be around when the sun turns into a red giant?
The short answer: No, Halley's Comet will not still be around when the Sun becomes a red giant. When a comet gets close to the Sun (formally called a perihelion passage), the comet's surface gets heated up, and a layer on the surface sublimates and is lost into space. This means that a comet gets smaller over time, since it loses mass each time it swings by the Sun. As a general rule, a comet whose perihelion is one AU (the same as the average Earth-Sun distance) will lose about one meter of its surface during each perihelion passage. Comets that get closer to the Sun than 1.0 AU may lose several meters of their surface during each perihelion passage. Halley's comet is currently on an orbit with a perihelion of 0.59 AU, so it probably loses several meters from its surface during each perihelion passage. The average diameter of Halley's Comet is about eleven kilometers, so after a few thousand more perihelion passages, none of it will remain. Each orbit of Halley's Comet takes about 75 years, so it will be completely gone within a few hundred thousand years, at most. The Sun will become a red giant in about five billion years, so Halley's Comet have sublimated out of existence long before then.
What does secured orbit mean?
the earth is turns around the sun and the moon is turns around of the earth
How did Edmond Halley predict that Halley's comet was coming back again?
He didn't discover it. He did some calculations that suggested that a certain comet, seen during his lifetime, and three comets seen many years before, had the same orbit, and therefore were all probably the same comet. He also predicted that this comet would return in a certain year in the future. It did and it was named as Halley's comet, in his honour.
What is a planet doing when it rotates?
The rotation of a planet means that it's revolves around the sun's gravitational pull. Since all planets are hanging around in the universe and the sun are pulling them by it's gravity it causes some sort of magnetic rotation!
What water does just before it turns to steam?
It condenses and turns into vapour which is known as "steam".
When is the tail of a comet visible?
A comet's tail is only seen when the comet is relatively close to the Sun. The heat of the Sun evaporates particles from the comet and illuminates them.Far from the Sun there is neither evaporation nor illumination.If a comet tail is not visible, then probably it doesn't have a tail. The comet has a tail when it comes near the Sun, and gets heated up. It is interesting to note that the comet's tail will always point away from the Sun (it gets blown out by the solar wind), this may be "behind" or "in front of" the direction of movement of the comet.Usually, the center of a comet is composed of ices and meteoric materials. These ices are sublimated (transformation of solid into gas) under the action of sunlight when the comet goes to the sun. The dust and ice (that is transformed into gas) are expelled from the center of the comet. Ultraviolet radiation from the sun breaks the molecules of gas and dust. These broken molecules becomes bright because of exposition to ultraviolet. That's why we can see a comet's tail.
Does that mean a guy is checking you out if he turns around and looks at you after he passes by you and keeps looking at you before he passes by you and passes by you like 4 times in a class?
Yes.
