What is a electrical circuit?
An electrical circuit is a path which electrons from a current source flow. Electric current flows in a closed path called an electric circuit. The point where those electrons enter an electrical circuit is called the "source" of electrons. The point where the electrons leave an electrical circuit is called the "return". The exit point is called the "return" because electrons always end up at the source when they complete the path of an electrical circuit. The part of an electrical circuit that is between the electrons' starting point and the point where they return to the source is called an electrical circuit's "load". ---Nerd
Do comets revolve around the earth?
No. Some comets periodically pass by the Earth, such as Halley's comet, but the Sun primarily creates the path they follow. Saturn's moon, Phoebe, may have originated as a comet.

What is it called when the moon is in the path of sun?
The point where the moon crosses the path of the sun is called the lunar node. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_node
How is the orbital path of a comet like the orbital path of the planets?
All orbits are ellipses; this is true for both planets and for comets. Cometary orbits are somewhat extreme ellipses, where the difference between the perihelion (closest to the Sun) is very different from the aphelion (farthest from the Sun) distance. This difference is called "eccentricity". Planets have relatively low eccentricity; for Earth, for example, the eccentricity is only 3%. Some comets don't have an "orbit" at all. An "orbit" implies that the comet will eventually come back. But some comets are "hyperbolic"; their paths aren't an ellipse, but a hyperbola. A hyperbolic comet is a one-time visitor to the solar system; it has fallen in from interstellar space, and will be going back out to interstellar space.
A path that is always the same distance from a given point is called a?
Circle.
