revolution
Comet orbits are typically elliptical, meaning they are elongated and not circular like planet orbits. This can result in comets having highly eccentric paths around the Sun.
a comet orbits in a donut shaped path. some comets even go out of our solar system and back into it, past our sun.

Most orbits are ellipses.
Yes. Halley's Comet is a comet that orbits our sun, and the definition of "Part of the solar system" is 'Any object that orbits our sun.'
a comet/meteorite
Orbits move in very elongated elliptical orbits.
A comet's orbit can vary in shape from elliptical to highly elongated, sometimes resembling a long, narrow ellipse. This is because comets often have highly eccentric orbits that bring them close to the sun and then far out into the solar system.
A comet is an icy body that releases gas or dust. Most of the comets that can be seen from Earth travel around the sun in long, oval orbits.
All orbits are geodesic curves. Comets tend to have elliptical orbits ... as do planets, really; the degree of eccentricity (this is a measure of how "stretched" the ellipse is) just tends to be higher for comets.
encke's comet that appears every 3.3 years
Any comet visible from earth is in orbit around the sun. If the orbit is closed (elliptical), the comet will return after some period of time. If the orbit is open (parabolic or hyperbolic), the comet will escape the solar system and never return to the neighborhood.
