-- Despite where they come from, some comets have different mass qualities. While some are long-term comets, some are short-term. Short-term period comets originate in the Kuiper belt or it's "shattered disc", which is around the orbit of Neptune. Long-term period comets originate in Oort cloud, which is a cloud of icy bodies in space.

Char Messier was a French "comet hunter"; comets were his primary point of interest, perhaps after observing the "great comet" of 1744. But he kept finding things that looked like comets but weren't, so he proceeded to compile a catalog of "fuzzy things in the sky that weren't comets". The Messier Catalog includes galaxies, nebulae and star clusters; all things that would have looked sort-of like comets through his late-1700's telescope.
Yes, some comets have been observed to orbit Jupiter. These comets can either be captured by Jupiter's gravity and become temporary moons, or have their orbits altered by Jupiter's gravitational pull.
well, comets, because of the speed they have, most of them turn into fire. but there are some cases in wich they do´nt.
Some comets are made of ice and dust.
