Comet Hale-Bopp is still visible in very large telescopes; estimates indicate that it will be visible until 2030, and may be visible longer than that in the improved telescopes of ten years from now.
Comet Hale-Bopp is not expected to return to the inner solar system until the year 4390.

How many years does it take for Hale-Bopp comet to orbit the sun?
2,537 years
How long did it take for comet Hale-Bopp to orbit the sun?
Hyakutake is a long-period comet. Before its most recent passage through the solar system, its orbital period was about 17,000 years, but the gravitational influence of the giant planets has increased this period to 102,070 years.
How long does it take a comet to orbit the sun?
That all depends on the comet Halley's takes about 76 years where as Hale Bopp takes about 2300 years. Its the same principle with the planets the closer the orbit the faster it goes. Some Comets like Hale Bopp come from the Oort cloud about a light year away that is why it takes so long, where as Halley's goes out round Pluto and back again.
Where is hale-bopp comet now?
It's still traveling in outer space...where else could it be? And hopefully the 3 Saturn Shaped UFO's that came with it, that I observed while on Earth have finished their mission. TRUE THAT!!
How long does it take for a comet to spin on its own axis?
That varies completely from comet to comet.
Is halleys comet long period or short period comet?
That depends on what you call 'long' or 'short'. Halley's period is in the neighborhood of 75 years, give or take a few years. Since that's short enough for two perihelions to occur within a single human lifetime, I guess it ought to be considered a short period.
How long does Halley's Comet take to orbit once?
The orbital period of Halley's Comet is about 75.3 years.
How long will it take if you traveled at the speed of light to get from earth to a comet?
That will completely depend on where the Earth and the comet are in their respective orbits. No single answer is possible.
Why does it take this long for Halley's comet to be seen again from earth?
unsa man
How long does the comet Tempel-Tuttle take to make a single orbit?
it depends
How long does it take for Haley's comet to make a full orbit?
76 years
How long does it take haleys comet to orbit the sun with a 17.8 AU?
Halley's Comet returns once every 75-76 years.
