Comets are small bodies of rock and ice which are in a highly eccentric orbit around the sun, which is a star. There are thought to be other comets orbiting other stars, but we would not be able to detect them from earth.

∙ 12y agoNo, comets are small lumps of rock and ice that are in elongated orbits around the sun. They spend most of their lives far out on the edge of the solar system, but occasionally come close to the sun. At this point, tails form as the sun heats and vapourises the surface.
