Halley's comet is really just an icy rock that orbits around the sun just like the planets do. The difference is, instead of it taking just one year to go around the sun like Earth does, it swings way out to the outer edge of the solar system on every orbit, and takes 75 years to make a complete circle.
The only time we ever see it is when it comes close to the sun, in Earths neighborhood. It spends all the rest of that time way out in space zipping along in the dark.
The last time this happened was in 1986. Halley's comet isn't due back until 2061!
