If any comet comes CLOSER to the Sun than Earth's distance from the Sun, its speed will be LARGER than that of Earth, which is 30 km/second.The exact speed will depend on how close the comet gets to Earth, and - to a lesser extent - on the exact shape of its orbit. If you know the orbital characteristics, you can get the speed using Kepler's laws. For a start, compare the orbit to Earth's orbit, using Kepler's Third Law.
