Ganymede is a satellite of Jupiter. Jupiter takes 11.85 years to orbit the sun.
A comets orbit is considered a cycle because a comet circles back in an elliptical orbit.

Comets are basically huge, dirty snowballs that circle the sun in irregular, elliptical orbits. Some comets have fairly regular patterns of orbit such as Haley's. If a comet bisects the orbit of a planet or other solar body, it can cause massive damage. Remember, it was the Hale-Bopp comet that struck Jupiter fairly recently, and that punched holes in Jupiter's atmosphere that remained visible for weeks.

Jupiter. Jupiter was hit in 1994 by a comet called Shoemaker Levy9.
Asteroids are thought to have a different origin from comets, having formed inside the orbit of Jupiter rather than in the outer Solar System.

Right now, on March 20, 2011? There is none. The frozen core of Halley's Comet is drifting away from the Sun, and is out past the orbit of Neptune and slowing down. In about 10 years, Halley's Comet will reach aphelion (the farthest point in its orbit) and slowly begin to fall back inward. The comet probably won't develop any kind of tail until it gets in about to the orbit of Jupiter; that will be around 2055 or so.

Jupiter does not orbit the earth. It takes 11.86 years for Jupiter to orbit the sun.
