Comets are ephemeral, though a few recur with a regular period. Halleys Comet is the classic example of this.
Some comets have return periods considered greater than, or comparable with the age of the universe. Many are bound within the Solar System, with one of their orbital foci near the Sun, and the other in their region of origin.
A Comet consists of a body containing evaporable material - ice or gas - and depending upon how close to the Sun they pass, they will eventually lose most of their mass.
The comet's tail points away from the Sun, and is made from the volatile components evaporated by the Solar Wind or by particles from the Sun.

How many hours are in a day on a comet?
It all depends upon the rotation of the comet, as the length of a 'day' is determined by the rate of rotation and the position from which it is measured on the comet itself as well as the current position of the comet in relation to the nearest 'sun'. There is no simple answer.
Where on Earth are day and night of equal length throughout the year?
Day and night are of equal length throughout the year at the equator.
When was Year of the Comet created?
Year of the Comet was created on 1992-04-24.
Can the length daylight tell weather?
no the length of day depends on the time of year.
Why does the length of the comet tail increase as it approaches the Sun?
More material is boiled off the comet as it gets nearer to the hot sun and so the comet tail grows.
