Through space. Comets have a period in which they orbit the Sun in an elongated ellipse, some have long periods, e.g. Halley's Comet, 75 years.

do comets go near Pluto?
yes, comets travel around the solar system :l
which of these is mostly made up of ice ?
Comets contain ice.
How fast does a comet travel?
comets travel around 26 miles per second to 298 miles per second.
Where are comets found in solar system?
It has been suggested that comets originate in the Oort cloud and then travel in long elliptical orbits around the Sun.
Do comets travel in orbits with a shape similar to the planets?
No. The planets in the Solar System all have almost circular orbits, but the orbits of comets are highly eccentric (oval-shaped). This means that while the distance a planet is from the Sun is rather constant, the path of a comet means it comes close to the Sun, and then moves far away.
Does comets travel at the same speed?
No.

yes, comets travel around the solar system :l
What is the shape of all the orbits of comets?
Comets travel in highly elliptical orbits. See link for more.
Do meteorites asteroids and comets travel in their own orbits?
no.....
Do comets only travil around the sun?
We only know about comets that travel around our own Sun, but we would expect that other solar systems might have the same kinds of debris left over, and that other stars might have comets also. But our instruments and telescopes aren't good enough to let us detect such small objects as comets so far away.
Can comets travel up to 150000 miles an hour?
yes they do
What do comets travel in?
elongated elliptical orbits around the sun
which of these is mostly made up of ice ?
Comets contain ice.
Where do comet orbit?
most comets travel near the oort belt.
What are comets closest to?
Comets are physically very remote (far away from) from almost everything, they resemble (are similar to) dirty snowballs.
What other bodys travel around the sun but are not considered planets?
Asteroids, and comets.
Do comets have an atmospehere?
No... they're far too small to support an atmosphere.
