Nothing particularly dangerous, there would be an impressive display or meteors.
In fact the earth does pass through the remnants of comets regularly. The Perseid and Leonid meteor showers appear every year are just such events.

Meteoroids definitely fall to Earth as dust or small stones. To the best of our knowledge, no asteroid or comet has fallen to Earth within recorded history. But as large as they are, it's likely that a lot more than dust would survive a trip through the atmosphere by either of them.

Can a comet knock the earth out of the solar system?

No. The head of a comet is much, much smaller than Earth (and made of considerably less dense materials as well); a comet knocking Earth out of the solar system would be like a mosquito knocking your car off the highway.


Is comet fall followed by an earthquake?

Would the impact of a comet on the Earth cause earthquakes? Possibly; it would depend on where the comet hit. But depending on the size of the comet that struck the Earth, the results might vary from "merely" very terrible indeed to absolutely catastrophic; The impact, the fallout, the tsunami (if a water strike) and/or the "nuclear winter" darkening of the skies with dust and debris would dwarf most conceivable earthquakes. Let me put it this way; if a large comet strikes the Earth, the last thing people will be worrying about would be an earthquake.
