Are there any comets other than Halleys comet?
yes.
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
Why was the comet in the sky in the Bayeux tapestry?
Because comets cannot decide when they will be visible. It was a natural phenomena and remains so. Comets have a 'year' as do all solar objects. Halleys comets year happened to coincide with the battle. It was a coincidence, nothing more than that.
What did Fred Lawrence Whipple study?
Comets and comet composition
What are the names of 5 famous comets?
1 - Halley's 2 - Lovejoy 3 - Hale-Bopp 4 - Ison 5 - Shoemaker-Levy 9 Note: Obviously that's a matter of opinion to some extent. I would have a different list. See "related link" below for a list of some famous comets. Note: Unfortunately, the photo and caption for the "eclipse comet of 1948" is wrong in this link.

What makes comets unique?
One thing that makes comets unique is that they each have a different chemical composition. Another thing is, each comet has its own distinct orbit around a particular star.
Does Mars have tails?
In the sense that an observer can see tails on comets - no, the gravity and composition of Mars is not favorable to the production of a tail.
What size is halleys Comet?
big
