Comet HALE-BOPPComet SWIFT-TUTTLE (1992)Comet HYAKUTAKEComet HALLEYMost comets are "famous" because they provide viewable tails, and because they reappear on a regular schedule, or after a period of years.
Yes, they are visible. Every year the earth passes through the orbits of old comets (or similar objects) and these result in meteor showers. Amongst the better known ones, visible in the Northern hemisphere, are the Perseids in mid August from the comet Swift-Tuttle and the Leonids in mid November from the comet Tempel-Tuttle..

Perseids, associated with debris from comet Swift-Tuttle, peaking sometime on August 12 but likely visible a night before and a night after.
Meteor showers are the increased level of meteoroids striking Earth's atmosphere as the planet passes through belts of higher meteoroid concentration, normally caused by the passage of a larger object such as a comet. The two main belts that intersect Earth's orbit are: - the Leonids around November 17 (in the orbit of the comet Temple-Tuttle) - the Perseids around August 12 (in the orbit of the comet Swift-Tuttle)
