The Oort Cloud
Of course, all comets around the sun are coming under the family of planets but with large eccentricity. But we would like to differentiate them because of that large eccentricity.
Comets are just very icy asteroids, they become comets when a large enough of a body of mass, i.e. jupiter or saturn. When this happens, the asteroid gets thrown into an extremely high elliptical orbit. They ideally have an orbit perpindicular to the ecliptic.
Comets go around the Sun in a highly elliptical orbit.

A comets orbit is considered a cycle because a comet circles back in an elliptical orbit.

yes yes Yes, comets and asteroids usually follow elliptical orbit.
No, comets do.
Comet Hyakutake, named after Japanese astronomer Yuji Hyakutake who discovered it in 1996, did not have specific folklore associated with it as it was a recently discovered astronomical object. However, comets have historically been viewed as omens or harbingers of change in various cultures around the world.

Comets travel in highly elliptical orbits. See link for more.

Comets. Periodic comets have highly eccentric elliptical orbits, with eccentricities.
