Best Answer

Long-period comets such as Halley's Comet have elliptical orbits that stretch billions of miles out of the solar system and back again. Other comets have hyperbolic orbits that bring them close once but never again, or at least not for many millions of years.

Through space. Comets have a period in which they orbit the Sun in an elongated ellipse, some have long periods, e.g. Halley's Comet, 75 years.


Do all the objects in the solar system travel around the sun in elliptical orbits?

no. example: Pluto sometimes crosses orbits of other planets and asteroids that arent in the asteroid belt dont. *NEW EDIT* YES. The solar system consists of all objects orbiting around the sun. All of them move in elliptical (or ovalish) shaped orbits. This is a basic fact of astronomy. The first answer is totally ridiculous.


How would all objects accelerate?

If the object were on earth it would travel 9.8 m/s^2.
