Halley's Comet is a famous periodic comet that is visible from Earth every 75-76 years. It is named after the astronomer Edmond Halley who successfully predicted its return. The last time Halley's Comet was visible from Earth was in 1986, and it will next be visible in 2061.

What other comets will be visible from earth by 2100?
It is challenging to predict which comets will be visible from Earth by 2100, as new comets are discovered regularly. However, some of the periodic comets that are expected to return within this timeframe include Comet Halley (2061), Comet Hale-Bopp (c. 4385), and Comet Swift-Tuttle (2126).

Will there be any comets visible tonight?
Comets tend to be visible for weeks or even months. They don't suddenly appear and then vanish again in a single night. So if there's been a comet visible recently, then it will probably be visible tonight; if there hasn't, there probably won't.There is some point, of course, at which a comet that was not previously visible becomes visible, and at which a comet that has been visible vanishes again. But what almost never happens is that a brilliant, spectacular comet appears overnight.There are nearly always a few comets visible through sufficiently powerful telescopes. The Related Links will take you to the Comet Chasing website, which lists all known comets currently theoretically visible to amateur astronomers (that is, you don't need a billion-dollar telescope to see them, though you may need a scope costing several thousand dollars to do so).
When was Halley's comet recently sighted on earth?
Halley's comet last passed through the inner solar system ... becoming bright enough to be visible ... in the mid 1980s. It's not expected to be visible again, even with significant optical enhancement, until some short time before 2060.
When will Hale Bopp Comet return within Earth27s view?
Hopefully some serious advances in medicine come about, as we will need them to view this comet again. It is estimated that this comet will not return for another 29,500 years.
Can a comets tail be hundreds of millions of kilometers long?
Sure. As a comet approaches the sun, the comet sheds some of its material, which trails behind it for millions of kilometers. It is this tail that is the most visible part of a comet. In fact, the word comet means "hairy star," referring to the long, streaming tail. In 1910, the earth actually passed through the tail of Halley's Comet.

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.
