Halley's Comet never comes to Earth. The comet - as with all astronomical bodies - follows its own orbit, falling endlessly through the solar system.
Halley's Comet is currently a little further from the Sun than the orbit of Neptune, moving very slowly outward from the Sun. It will linger there, reaching the peak of its orbit in about 15 years, before beginning its long slow fall back into the inner solar system.

∙ 11y agoNo. it's actually in a periodic orbit which is why it appears at intervals but does not intersect with the Earth's at any point.

Who was the founder of Halley's comet?
Edmond Halley ALSO, GO NACHOS!
Why did the last halley comet happen?
Halley's comet is really just an icy rock that orbits around the sun just like the planets do. The difference is, instead of it taking just one year to go around the sun like Earth does, it swings way out to the outer edge of the solar system on every orbit, and takes 75 years to make a complete circle. The only time we ever see it is when it comes close to the sun, in Earths neighborhood. It spends all the rest of that time way out in space zipping along in the dark. The last time this happened was in 1986. Halley's comet isn't due back until 2061!
What are the names of some comets?
Meteors don't have names; they are transient, burning up in the atmosphere. They are gone in a second or two. If it survives, some meteorites are given names, usually related to the location of the fall.
Who was born during halleys comet was in the sky and died 75 years later?
The American humorist, author and Mississippi riverboat pilot Samuel Langhorn Clemens, who wrote under the pen name "Mark Twain", was born two weeks after Halley's Comet made its closest approach to the Earth in 1835. Clements wrote, near the end of his life, "I came in with Halley's Comet in 1835. It is coming again next year, and I expect to go out with it. It will be the greatest disappointment of my life if I don't go out with Halley's Comet. The Almighty has said, no doubt: 'Now here are these two unaccountable freaks; they came in together, they must go out together.' "
What is the point of origin for Halley comet?
it is the time when the tail is facing the north of the other comets like this <halleys tail is north of the other comets when they go > this way
Who was the founder of Halley's comet?

What was unique about when Mark Twain was born and when he died?
He was born and died while Halley's Comet was passing by.
What do Mark Twain and Halley's comet have in common?
Samuel Clemens, who wrote under the pen name "Mark Twain", was born two weeks after Halley's Comet reached perihelion in 1835. In his 1909 autobiography, Clemens wrote: "I came in with Halley's Comet in 1835. It is coming again next year, and I expect to go out with it. It will be the greatest disappointment of my life if I don't go out with Halley's Comet. The Almighty has said, no doubt: 'Now here are these two unaccountable freaks; they came in together, they must go out together.'" Clemens died on 21 April 1910, the day after Halley's Comet reached perihelion. Which was, all things considered, a total coincidence.
Mark twain life and death coincided with what scientific event?
Mark Twain's life and death coincided with Halley's Comet. He was born in 1835, the year Halley's Comet made an appearance, and he died in 1910, shortly after the comet's next scheduled return. Twain famously predicted that he would die when the comet returned.
What heavenly phemomenon occourred at twains birth and death?
At Mark Twain's birth in 1835, Halley's Comet was visible in the night sky. Interestingly, Twain passed away in 1910, the year Halley's Comet made its return, which he had predicted. This led to the popular saying, "I came in with Halley's Comet in 1835. It is coming again next year, and I expect to go out with it."
What was Mark Twain quote about Halley's comments?
Twain said "I came in with Halley's Comet in 1835. It is coming again next year (1910), and I expect to go out with it. It will be the greatest disappointment of my life if I don't go out with Halley's Comet. The Almighty has said, no doubt: 'Now here are these two unaccountable freaks; they came in together, they must go out together.'"
What do Mark Twain And haly's Commet have in common?
It is believed that Mark Twain (aka Samuel Clemens) was born the same month as the passing of Halley's comet in November 1835. Halley's Comet passed on November 10th 1835 and Twain was born November 30th 1835. Twain vowed he would "go out"with the passing of the comet, as it passes in 75 year cycles. Halley's comet passed again April 20th 1910, Twain passed April 21st 1910.
What comet is Mark Twain often associated with and why?
I think that he is often associated with Halley's Comet because he was born during a visit from the comet and he predicted that he would "go out with it" as well. As predicted, he died the day following the comet's subsequent return.
How far is Halleys comet from the sun?
A comet's orbit around the Sun is pretty predictable, but its appearance depends on the structure of the ice and rocks below the surface, and we do not know these things. As the ice begins to melt, the structure of the comet and the distribution of frozen gasses can cause the comet to appear a little different each day.
How far does Halley's comet go before it turns around?
Well it dosen't turn around it comes around once every 71 years so next time we'll see it in the U.S. is in 2061.
