It takes some 75 to 76 years for Halley's Comet to orbit the sun. It last appeared in the inner Solar System in 1986, and will next appear in mid 2061. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on Comet Halley.

What is the name of the comet that supposedly appears every 2000 years or so and was last seen in the mid 90's?
"Periodic" comets reappear at predictable intervals, such as Haley's Comet. Some comets are never seen again. A few crash into the Sun and are destroyed; a few crash into other planets, such as the Shoemaker-Levy comet that hit Jupiter. Many comets have such long periods, in terms of thousands of years, that no records exist that anyone ever saw them before.
How many years does it take for a haleys comet to come by earth?
Approximately every 76 years 1986 + 76 = 2062
How many years is the interval between each reappearance of Halley's comet?
75 to 76 year
How many years do you see comets?
It rather depends on the path of the comet. Some comets (such as Encke's comet) return in as little as 20 years - others might not return to our solar system for centuries (Comet McNaught has an orbital period of over 92,000 years !) It's possible to see at least one comet per year if the weather conditions ar favourable.
After whom was halleys comet named?
Haley's comet is a comet that passes around every 76 years, it was last seen in 1986 and will next be seen in 2061. It is the only short-period comet that is visible to the naked eye. It's orbit is highly elliptical and focuses on the sun.Correctly named Halley's comet, this comet was named after Edmond Halley in 1705 and is visible to the naked eye about twice in a person's lifetime.
How many years it takes for Haleys comet to come around?
Halleys comet comes back around every 76 years.
Is it humanly possible to see a comet twice?
yes because halleys comet comes every 72 years- 12+ 72= 84, you never know you could live that long.

How many earth years does it take a comet to orbit?
Halley's Comet takes 73.5 years to orbit the sun but every comet is different just like planets.
When was the comet Soho discovered?
It was discovered in September of 1999, and has a period of almost exactly four years. it is due to reappear this September. The comet is not called "Soho", however. It is called "P/2007 R5". It was discovered by the SOHO spacecraft - as have been many other comets. P/2007 R5 is a mostly burned-out comet, with only a trace of it's original ices left - it cannot be seen with the naked eye, being a telescopic object.
How many years does it take for Haley's comet to orbit the sun?

How many years does it take for Hale-Bopp comet to orbit the sun?
2,537 years
How many years does it take a comet to appear?
It take exactly 75 to 76 years.
Approximately how many years does it take Halley's comet to orbit around the sun?
about 76 years
