Halley's comet was so far out in space it didn't just pass England, but the earth. And it took several weeks to do so, in November 1982.

Does a comet have a length of day or year?
Comets are ephemeral, though a few recur with a regular period. Halleys Comet is the classic example of this. Some comets have return periods considered greater than, or comparable with the age of the universe. Many are bound within the Solar System, with one of their orbital foci near the Sun, and the other in their region of origin. A Comet consists of a body containing evaporable material - ice or gas - and depending upon how close to the Sun they pass, they will eventually lose most of their mass. The comet's tail points away from the Sun, and is made from the volatile components evaporated by the Solar Wind or by particles from the Sun.
What is the best time of day to view Halleys comet in March?
You can't see Halley's Comet at any time of the year now. It was last seen from Earth in 1986 and won't be seen from Earth again until 2061. It orbits the Solar System, taking about 75 to 76 years to do so, so it can only be seen about that often from Earth.
How many hours are in a day on a comet?
It all depends upon the rotation of the comet, as the length of a 'day' is determined by the rate of rotation and the position from which it is measured on the comet itself as well as the current position of the comet in relation to the nearest 'sun'. There is no simple answer.
When is the next hades comet?

Haley's comet is what kind of comet?
No. Comet brightness depends on the actual brightness, but also on the distance from the Sun. In 1986, Halley's Comet was not very bright, because it was far from Earth. The previous appearance in 1910 was distinctly brighter, but still wasn't even the brightest comet of the year; the "Great Daylight Comet of 1910" was visible during the day!

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.

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.
