The name of the comet seen in 1986 is Halley's Comet. You can see it every 75-76 years, and is the only short period comet that is clearly visible to the naked eye from earth, and thus the only naked-eye comet that might appear twice in a human lifetime.
Halley's Comet orbits the Sun, in an elliptical path. It doesn't orbit anything else.
The only one I know is Halley's Comet. There may be others.
Comets such as Halley' Comet are small bodies of rock and ice which are in a highly eccentric orbits around the sun. They spend most of their time slowly orbiting the sun, far out beyond the outer planets. Their orbit eventually comes close to the sun, where the surface is heated and gives the comet its tails - they become much more visible. Halley's comet orbits the sun once every 75 years, so its only visible during this brief phase when it is close to the sun (and Earth).
You can't see Halley's Comet at any time of the day or night now. It was last seen from Earth in 1986 and won't be seen from Earth again until 2061. It orbits the Solar System, taking about 75 to 76 years to do so, so it can only be seen about that often from Earth.You can't see Halley's Comet at any time of the day or night now.

Every planet, asteroid and comet in our solar system orbits the sun. The only natural body that orbits Earth is its moon.
The orbits of comets are elongated ovals that take the comet around the sun and then far out beyond Pluto. We can see them only in that part of their orbit which brings them close to the Earth

No. Earth is a planet. It orbits the sun, which is a star.
No it does notNo we are not the only planet in the galaxy we have 8 other planets to. if the earth and the moon was that close to the sun we wouldn't be living.

We onnly see a comet for a very short part of their orbit because they travel in very elongated elliptical orbits with the Sun near one end. So they are only close to the Sun for us to see their reflected light for a short time.

The moon with the specific name 'The Moon' orbits planet Earth.
