-- Despite where they come from, some comets have different mass qualities. While some are long-term comets, some are short-term.

Comets can also be classified based on their composition and physical characteristics, such as size and brightness.
How do the orbits of comets differ from the orbits of most asteroids?
Comets are balls of ice and dust in orbit around the Sun. The orbits of comets are different from those of planets - they are elliptical. A comet's orbit takes it very close to the Sun and then far away again.
