What shape is the orbit of a comet around the sun?
oval
Planet's orbit are nearly circular What shape is a comet's?
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.
Is the shape of Halley's orbit?
Halley's Comet travels in a very long, narrow ellipse.
What shape does a comet's orbit?
a comet orbits in a donut shaped path. some comets even go out of our solar system and back into it, past our sun.
Why is a comet orbit considered a cycle?

What is the path of comet around the sun called?
It is called an orbit. A comet has an eccentric or parabolic orbit.
Do comets orbit in the shape of a planets orbit?
A comet that's bound to the sun and appears periodically is in an elliptical orbit. A comet that whizzes through the solar system only once and then leaves for good is in a hyperbolic orbit. If the comet is periodic but with an exceptionally long period ... thousands of years e.g. ... then we can't tell, from the small part of its orbit that we can see, whether it's elliptical or hyperbolic.
Is Halley's orbit to earth the same each time?
No, Halley's comet orbits the sun and its orbit is not the same each time it passes by Earth. The orbit of Halley's comet is an elliptical shape, so its distance from Earth and speed can vary during each approach.
Shape of a comet's orbit?
Comets' orbits are elliptical, like all orbiting bodies.
