For the last 4.5 billion years Halley's Comet has orbited the Sun.
The last time it was visible to the naked eye on Earth was 1986.
The next near pass is likely to be about 2061.

You can't see Halley's Comet at any time of the year now. It was last seen from Earth in 1986 and won't be seen from Earth again until 2061. It orbits the Solar System, taking about 75 to 76 years to do so, so it can only be seen about that often from Earth.
Haley's Comet, officially known as Halley's Comet, is projected to pass closest to Earth in 2061 on its 76-year orbit cycle. The last time Halley's Comet was visible from Earth was in 1986.
Any comet visible from earth is in orbit around the sun. If the orbit is closed (elliptical), the comet will return after some period of time. If the orbit is open (parabolic or hyperbolic), the comet will escape the solar system and never return to the neighborhood.
halleys comet will return in 2061.
Halley's comet is in orbit round the sun. Its orbit time is about 75 years, but as the orbital path is long and narrow, most of that is spent far out where we cannot see it. We see it for a few months when it is near the sun.
Halley's Comet has never been 10 miles above Earth. It is always millions of miles from us, even when closest to us. It was last visible from Earth in 1986. It will next be visible in 2061.
Yes, the time it takes for a comet to complete 1 orbit is called a period.

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.
