If the comet has enough movement energy, it might leave the Solar System forever. Otherwise, the Sun's gravity will eventually slow it down, and the comet will return.

What is part of our solar system comets or asteroids or both?

Comets are often thought of as visitors from other solar systems. Solitary travelers in space. Asteroids can and do exist as "belts" and are usually found in groups that can orbit a central sun very much like planets. Composition can be very different for both objects. Both follow prescribed orbits, hence we are able to predict/know the returning date for Haley's Comet. Am not familiar with any data about asteroids with orbits as far reaching as comets. Because comets follow a predicted orbit, and visit our solar system at regular times, they could be considered part of our solar system the same way as band of asteroids. However, comets can and do leave our solar system and pass through others, so they are more visitor than permanent part of our solar system.


Is Halley's comet part of our solar system?

Yes. The solar system is everything that orbits the sun.


Where do comets and asteroids go?

Most "asteroids" are in orbit around the Sun, unless disturbed by gravity or collisions. Comets may orbit the Sun regularly, or be drawn in from the outer solar system and pass by the Sun on their way back out (hyperbolic comets).

What part of comets or meteors are easily seen?

It is the trails they make. With comets it is the trail made by outgassing as the comet approaches and recedes from the sun. Meteors are heated by friction when they enter the atmosphere and leave a trail this way.
