Like any other freely moving body in the universe they exert gravity on other bodies around them and they are attracted by other heavenly bodies as well. Each body exerts a force of gravity upon other nearby bodies in space.
Comets tend to have a more elliptical path around the sun, though, than do most other major satellites of the sun.
The comet orbits the sun, just like planets orbit the sun. The comet has enough momentum to avoid falling into the sun, but, not enough momentum to escape the sun's gravitational pull. It's called an orbit, and countless items in the solar system orbit the sun. The comet is just one of thousands of objects that orbit the sun.
im a student at a prep school and i no this, it is because the gravitational pull from the sun attracks comest. how ? they spin round the sun as well as spinning themselves.
they orbit the sun, that is why they are called comets, otherwise they would be known as asteroids, or meteorites!
Yes they do.... Most of them have elliptical orbits which take them beyond the outer reaches of the solar system and back towards the sun.
Centripital force & gravity
Halley's Comet orbits around the sun.
Comets are celestial objects that have tails and move around the sun. When a comet is moving toward the sun, its tail points toward the sun.
It is called an orbit. A comet has an eccentric or parabolic orbit.
The tail of the comet always points away from the sun because, the comet rotates around the sun, also, it would not be able to face the sun because of the EXCRUCIATING HEAT! I love my family .

Considering that comets are pretty common objects in the solar system and that we have one sun only, it's obvious that a comet needs just one sun, or star, to go around.

Comets are celestial objects that have tails and move around the sun. When a comet is moving toward the sun, its tail points toward the sun.
The Coma is the nebulous envelope around the nucleus of a comet. It is formed when the comet passes close to the Sun.

Halley's Comet is still orbiting the Sun. It was close to Earth in 1986.
Around the earth and past the sun.
It is called an orbit. A comet has an eccentric or parabolic orbit.
