Halley's comet - which returns to our solar system approximately every 75 years - is one example, named after it's discoverer Edmund Halley. Another notable example is Shoemaker-Levy 9. It was observed orbiting the planet Jupiter, but the orbit was decaying - leading to the prediction that it was to crash into Jupiter's surface.

Is a comet bigger than an asteroid?
Depends on the asteroid and the comet. The core of a comet is typically anywhere from one mile to up to rarely 50 miles in diameter. As a comets come into the inner solar system they warm, being closer to the sun, and being mostly ice they trail a cloud of gas. On a large comet this gas tail can be vast, millions of miles long. Asteroids come in a huge range of sizes. The largest known in the solar system is Ceres, large enough to be classified as a Dwarf Planet, and has a diameter of about 590 miles. Most are much smaller, all the way down to the size of pebbles or dust.
What is the temperature on Ceres day and night?
Ceres' rotation has no effect on the earths rotation. Ceres rotational period is equal to one day on Ceres.
