The comet's size changes depending on how close it is to the sun and the location. There's no real set size range.

How does a comet get its size?

A comet is just the size it is, and starts it's journey as a comet when some gravitiaional influence nudges it out of the Oort Cloud in in toward the solar system. Every time a comet makes a pass around the sun, it gets smaller, as it gradually is "boiled away" by it's passage around the sun. So all comets have a finite life span, once they are caught into the sun's orbital pull.
