our earth would be then fried, becasue the orbit of a comet orbits around the sun which cause the comet to be insanely high. which in one case would fry our earth if our orbit was near the sun

What kind of orbit does comets have?
type in the green search box " What Does the Orbit Of A Comet Look Like" and it will give you the answer.. THANK YOU
Why doesn't halles comet stop?
Halley's Comet is in a closed gravitational orbit of the sun ... just like the Earth, all the other planets, and all the asteroids are. An object in a gravitational orbit keeps going unless there's something that acts on it to make it stop. That's how gravity works, and all other motions in general.
What is earth compared with a comet?
earth is much larger than a comet. Comets look like huge dirty snowballs, and they have a tail.
Does a comet orbit anything?
Yes, comets orbit the sun, but usually in an eliptical (oval) or eccentric orbit rather than a more-or-less circular one like the planets.
What a heavenly body that has a head and a tailand orbit around the sun?
That sounds like the description of a comet. However, please note that comets ONLY have a tail when they are close to the Sun. During most of their orbit, they are too far away from the Sun to have a tail.
How many earth years does it take a comet to orbit?
Halley's Comet takes 73.5 years to orbit the sun but every comet is different just like planets.
Why does Halley's comet travel through our solar system?
I don't know gravitational pull like how the moon is in orbit and circles the earth I guess
What is the orbit of a meteroid?
Meteroid orbits are random. Much like a comet.

How was Halley's comet created?
It was created like any other comet: Ice chunks fuse together to the nucleus of the comet and it obtains an orbit around the sun.
What is a meteors storm?
Each time a comet comes near the Sun, the dust and debris from a comet passing near the Sun are pushed out a LITTLE bit from the head of the comet, but MOST of the dust and rocks from the comet continue along in pretty much the same orbit as before. Over the centuries, the trail of dust and rocks spreads out along the orbit to fill in the entire orbital path. When the Earth's orbit crosses any part of the comet's orbit, we have "meteor showers". Most meteors are the size of a grain of sand, and the "average" meteor is about the size of a grain of rice; a meteor the size of a Golf ball is pretty big, and meteors like the one that exploded over Russia in March, 2013 are enormous..

Does a comet orbit a planet?
In prehistoric times large objects have caused big craters. Whether before impact these would have appeared like comets is a matter for debate. A comet is a celestial body. Anything that enters the earths atmosphere and/or strikes the earth is deemed a meteorite
Do comets orbit in the shape of a planets orbit?
A comet that's bound to the sun and appears periodically is in an elliptical orbit. A comet that whizzes through the solar system only once and then leaves for good is in a hyperbolic orbit. If the comet is periodic but with an exceptionally long period ... thousands of years e.g. ... then we can't tell, from the small part of its orbit that we can see, whether it's elliptical or hyperbolic.

What are the different methods of investergateing the universe?
Briefly, sending probes out (for example, to get near the Sun, some planet, some comet, or some asteroid, or just to take certain measurements, like measuring the solar wind, at different distances from Earth); looking at the Universe through Earth-based telescopes; sending telescopes into orbit (where they have a clearer picture, and can see wavelengths that don't pass through Earth's atmosphere); analyzing other particles that reach Earth, such as the cosmic rays, or neutrinos.Briefly, sending probes out (for example, to get near the Sun, some planet, some comet, or some asteroid, or just to take certain measurements, like measuring the solar wind, at different distances from Earth); looking at the Universe through Earth-based telescopes; sending telescopes into orbit (where they have a clearer picture, and can see wavelengths that don't pass through Earth's atmosphere); analyzing other particles that reach Earth, such as the cosmic rays, or neutrinos.Briefly, sending probes out (for example, to get near the Sun, some planet, some comet, or some asteroid, or just to take certain measurements, like measuring the solar wind, at different distances from Earth); looking at the Universe through Earth-based telescopes; sending telescopes into orbit (where they have a clearer picture, and can see wavelengths that don't pass through Earth's atmosphere); analyzing other particles that reach Earth, such as the cosmic rays, or neutrinos.Briefly, sending probes out (for example, to get near the Sun, some planet, some comet, or some asteroid, or just to take certain measurements, like measuring the solar wind, at different distances from Earth); looking at the Universe through Earth-based telescopes; sending telescopes into orbit (where they have a clearer picture, and can see wavelengths that don't pass through Earth's atmosphere); analyzing other particles that reach Earth, such as the cosmic rays, or neutrinos.
Shape of a comet's orbit?
Comets' orbits are elliptical, like all orbiting bodies.
