Greatest when it's closest to the sun, just like
every other body that orbits the sun.
The path of a comet around the sun would depend on its mass, speed, and trajectory. It a comet enters the sun's gravitational field at the correct trajectory and speed, it would fall into a roughly circular orbit.
It is called an orbit. A comet has an eccentric or parabolic orbit.
A comets orbit is elliptical and goes into the depth of the solar system and speed up when it goes around the sun
our earth would be then fried, becasue the orbit of a comet orbits around the sun which cause the comet to be insanely high. which in one case would fry our earth if our orbit was near the sun
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.

in an elliptical (oval) orbit around the sun, with its tail pointing in the oposite direction of the sun.
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.
