What is a meteor shower and what causes it?
Meteor showers are the increased level of meteoroids striking Earth's atmosphere as the planet passes through belts of higher meteoroid concentration, normally caused by the passage of a larger object such as a comet. The two main belts that intersect Earth's orbit are: - the Leonids around November 17 (in the orbit of the comet Temple-Tuttle) - the Perseids around August 12 (in the orbit of the comet Swift-Tuttle)

An orbit
Is a single orbit of a comet called a period?
Yes, the time it takes for a comet to complete 1 orbit is called a period.
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.
How many earth years does it take a comet to orbit?
Halley's Comet takes 73.5 years to orbit the sun but every comet is different just like planets.
