Do comets travel in orbits with a shape similar to the planets?

No. The planets in the Solar System all have almost circular orbits, but the orbits of comets are highly eccentric (oval-shaped). This means that while the distance a planet is from the Sun is rather constant, the path of a comet means it comes close to the Sun, and then moves far away.
