Comets are just very icy asteroids, they become comets when a large enough of a body of mass, i.e. jupiter or saturn. When this happens, the asteroid gets thrown into an extremely high elliptical orbit. They ideally have an orbit perpindicular to the ecliptic.
No. Some comets periodically pass by the Earth, such as Halley's comet, but the Sun primarily creates the path they follow. Saturn's moon, Phoebe, may have originated as a comet.
There are no comets that orbit the planet Mars. Comets, some, orbit the sun. Mars on the other hand does have two moons, Phobos and Deimos.

Many cultures have superstitious beliefs about comets and asteroids. The Philippines do not seem to share superstitions of comets and asteroids.
No. The Oort cloud is way beyond the orbit of Saturn. It's where many of the comets come from.
Saturn get coler and farther to earth. rings are made of gas rocks and comets. the gratiy is so strong it pulls the ring together Saturn has many rings
Saturn's rings where formed by the comets and asteroids with the strong gravitation pull .

There are no comets on Neptune because Neptune is a planet and comets are, well, comets. They have nothing to do with each other.
Most planets have an atmosphere, in addition to active comets and Saturn's moon Titan.
Many astronomers have discovered that many comets. For example, David Levy is the discoverer or co-discoverer of 22 comets.
Mercury has about the most perfectly spherical shape, but Saturn has the leastspherical shape (next least spherical is Jupiter).

Nothing. Sound can not travel in space due no air.I have no clue why the previous person who answered thought you can hear asteroids and comets.
