It's not in Earths orbit.
Halley's orbit [See Link] is highly elliptical, and focused on the Sun. Its perihelion, its closest distance to the Sun, is just 0.6 AU (between the orbits of Mercury and Venus), while its aphelion, or farthest distance from the Sun, is 35 AU, or roughly the distance of Pluto

A comet near the sun whose orbit is elliptical would never be near the sun again?
A comet with an elliptical orbit will periodically come close to the sun at its closest point (perihelion) and then move away to its farthest point (aphelion). So, a comet with an elliptical orbit would indeed come near the sun again after moving away. The exact timing of when it would be close to the sun again depends on the specifics of its orbit.
What part or parts of a comet come and go during a comet's orbit?
The tail. The tail is composed of gas and dust released from the comet nucleus when it approaches the Sun. Comet tails can be incredibly long, some as long as 150 million kilometers. As the comet recedes out into the Solar System away from the warmth of the Sun, it stops shedding dust and gas and the comet loses its tail.
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
Was halleys comet 10 miles from the earth in 1961?
No. in 1961 the comet was way out in the solar system, the recent close approaches were in 1910 and 1986 - non of there were as close as 10 miles from the nucleus, although Earth did pass through the comets tail in 1910.
After whom was halleys comet named?
Haley's comet is a comet that passes around every 76 years, it was last seen in 1986 and will next be seen in 2061. It is the only short-period comet that is visible to the naked eye. It's orbit is highly elliptical and focuses on the sun.Correctly named Halley's comet, this comet was named after Edmond Halley in 1705 and is visible to the naked eye about twice in a person's lifetime.
