Halley's Comet's last appearance was in 1986, and its average period of revolution around the Sun is 76 years. But it turns out that the gravitational pull of the giant planets creates variations in that period of up to a few years (so the time between successive appearances isn't always exactly 76 years). Its next appearance should be in 2061.

∙ 14y agoMost recently seen in 1985 and 1986, the comet will make another appearance in 2061, and roughly every 76 years thereafter.

How long does in take for haileys comet take to orbit the earth?
Halley's Comet orbits the sun, not the earth, roughly every 76 years.
Which comet will return the soonest?
Halley'scomet. It will return in 2061
What is the name of the comet that orbits the sun in your solar system?
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.
In what year is Halley's comet scheduled to return?
2061 or so.
What is Halley's comet's nucleus?
a comet that passes around earth every 76 years. It has gone by in 1835, 1910, 1986, and will return in 2061
When was Haileys comet seen in the 20th century?
halleys comet apeared twise in the 20th century
How long does in take for haileys comet take to orbit the earth?
Halley's Comet orbits the sun, not the earth, roughly every 76 years.
What defines a once in a lifetime event?
Haileys comet. It passes by every 75 years, so unless you can live up to 150 years, you will only see it once in your lifetime.
Who discovered the return of a comet that was named after them?
Edmund Halley PREDICTED the return of the comet which was later named for him.
Which comet will return the soonest?
Halley'scomet. It will return in 2061
Will Comet Mitchell aka C1847 T1 ever return if so when?
Comet C1847 T1, "Maria Mitchell's Comet", was on a hyperbolic trajectory and is not expected to return to the inner solar system.
What year did halley find his comet?
Halley didn't exactly find the comet named after him; doing calculations on the basis of several observations, he calculated the orbit and predicted when the comet would return. This was confirmed - the comet returned - after his death.Halley didn't exactly find the comet named after him; doing calculations on the basis of several observations, he calculated the orbit and predicted when the comet would return.

What was the name of a comet that was predicted to return?
There are scores of comets who's orbits have been determined, and are predicted to return, but the best known one is probably Comet Halley.
Which astronomer discovered comets return at intervals?
Edmund Halley. He even had a comet named after him, the Halley Comet.
Who predicted the return of comer which was eventually named after you?
Who predicted the return of comet which was eventually named after me
Who discovered the return of a comet which was eventually named after him?
Edmond Halley was the first to have a comet named after him following his prediction of the return in 1758 of the comet now named after him. Many other astronomers, both amateur andd professional, have been similarly honored since then.
