Does comet tail possible to can seen pointing towards earth?
A comet's tail points away from the sun. Sometimes the dust and gas separate, though, because they are driven by two different effects, radiation pressure and solar wind, respectively. Both point mostly away from the sun, but not always exactly. Photographs of Comet Hale-Bopp show this effect well, for example, the Astronomy Picture of the Day at the link shown. A comet in deepest cold space is generally thought of as a giant dirty snowball with the snow made of water ice, and frozen organic liquids, and the dirt of small rocks and dust which are the debris of explosions and collisions of different bodies in space. It is only when the comet approaches the sun and warms up that surface ice melts and vapourises carrying dust with it and forming a large cloud that we can see clearly. It is at this stage when the effects mentioned above act on the cloud and sweep it behind the comet relative to the sun to form a tail or tails, and because there is no atmospheric air in space the tail always points away from the sun even when the comet is travelling away from it.
What small body circles the sun with a high eliptical orbit?
The small body that circles the sun with a high elliptical orbit is a comet. Comets are icy bodies that originate from the outer regions of the solar system and can develop bright tails as they pass close to the sun.
Do comets emit light?
Yes, comets emit light through a process called outgassing, where ices on the surface vaporize as the comet gets closer to the Sun. Sunlight reflects off the gases and dust surrounding the comet, creating a glowing halo or tail.
Is it humanly possible to see Halley's comet twice?
Yes, it is humanly possible to see Halley's comet twice. A person can see it at a young age and again at an old age.
Is it humanly possible to see the Halley's comet twice?
Halley's Comet shows up every 75-76 years, so yes it is possible; but you would have to be very young when you first see it, and very old when you see it again. Unfortunately for Mark Twain, he was born on the day it came by the first time, and died when it came by the second time, so he didn't get to see it either time.
Is it possible to us to see a comet's tail pointing towards us?
no
Name the comet that came close to earth in 1986?
The name of the comet seen in 1986 is Halley's Comet. You can see it every 75-76 years, and is the only short period comet that is clearly visible to the naked eye from earth, and thus the only naked-eye comet that might appear twice in a human lifetime.
Will you be able to see Encke comet with your eye?
I would say not because of the comet's course and trajectory of the comet you would need a good telescope to see it.

What is Difference between comet and Halley's comet?
Because it is one of the best known comets in the world.Comet Hale-Bopp (formally designated C/1995 O1) was arguably the most widely observed comet of the twentieth century, and one of the brightest seen for many decades. It was visible to the naked eye for a record 18 months.
