What is the relationship between the Oort cloud and comets?
Long period comets (orbits of more than 200 years) are thought to have originated in the Oort cloud.
How far do comets travel?
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.
How long can the period be for a long period comet?
Long-period comets have periods of over 200 years.The longest would probably be somewhere around a million years (comparable to the orbital periods of objects in the Oort cloud); much longer than that, and it will go away far enough to be captured by the gravitational field of other stars.
When have comets been spotted over the last 100 years?
Typically, several comets are spotted every year.
What is Haleys comets period of rotation?
75 years
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LONG AND SHORT PERIODIC COMETS?
Short period comets have a period of less than 200 years Long period comets have a period of more than 200 years.
Where do long period comets cycling over 200 years come from?
Long period comets originate in the Oort Cloud.
Comets that appear within every 200 years are called comets?
long period comet
Why are the sightings of comets so many years apart?
they have long elliptical orbits
What is the relationship between the Oort cloud and comets?

How long could a long period comets take to orbit around the Sun?
Possibly hundreds of thousands of years.
