How far is Hayley's comet from the sun?
Hayley's comet is not always the same distance from the sun. This is because it has an elliptical orbit. When the comet is closest to the sun the ice begins to burn up forming the tail.
Do comets orbit in the shape of a planets orbit?
I'm PRETTY SURE that a comet is a sphere-like shape with lots of craters in it, sort of like the moon. A comet has like a small round head with two tails coming out from it. The longest tail is called the ion tail. and the small tail is called the dust tail.

What is the name of the comet that orbits the sun in your solar system?
Any comet visible from earth is in orbit around the sun. If the orbit is closed (elliptical), the comet will return after some period of time. If the orbit is open (parabolic or hyperbolic), the comet will escape the solar system and never return to the neighborhood.
What forces keep the comet in orbit around the sun?
The comet is kept in orbit around the sun by the gravitational pull between the comet and the sun. This gravitational force acts as a centripetal force, keeping the comet moving in its elliptical orbit.
How long does in take for haileys comet take to orbit the earth?
Halley's Comet orbits the sun, not the earth, roughly every 76 years.
