There is no one answer for this question. It would depend on its original mass and composition, and how close its orbit brings it to the Sun, or to Jupiter, and how long the orbit is.
The greater the initial mass, the more passes by the Sun the comet can survive. Each pass close to the Sun boils off a significant amount of ice and dust; eventually, there would be nothing left.
Many comets collide with other bodies such as planets. In 1994, the comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 broke apart and crashed into Jupiter. We know that at least five times in Earth's past, massive impacts have caused global devastation; one such impact 65 million years ago killed off the dinosaurs. We don't know if that was an asteroid or a comet.
The farther out its orbit goes, the longer the comet can survive. It freezes more solidly, gets a chance to accrete some additional mass.
Scientists believe that Halley's Comet, for example, may last for 10 million years.
Comets are made of ice, dust, and rock. When a comet approaches the sun, the heat causes the ice to vaporize, creating a cloud called a coma and a tail. This process can make comets visible from Earth for a long time even though their ice is being continuously vaporized.
The singular form is comet, the plural form is comets, the possessive plural is comets'. Example: The comets' paths will not cross.
short period comets
Oh, happy little comet traveling through space! Well, it really depends on the size of the comet and how close it gets to the Sun. Some comets's ‚òÑ journeys can last just years, while others can linger around for centuries, spreading their twinkling trails of light wherever they go. Just like in art, each comet has its own unique path and story to tell.

Long period comets originate in the Oort Cloud.

Celestial comets is a more formal name for comets. Comets are objects in space orbiting the Sun with long orbits. They are thought to be made of frozen water. As they near the Sun they produce a long glowing tail trailing behind.
Typically, several comets are spotted every year.
False
Short period comets have a period of less than 200 years Long period comets have a period of more than 200 years.
long period comet
Do you mean Biela's comet? Last seen in 1852.
Long period comets are thought to reside mainly in the Oort Cloud.

-- Despite where they come from, some comets have different mass qualities. While some are long-term comets, some are short-term. Short-term period comets originate in the Kuiper belt or it's "shattered disc", which is around the orbit of Neptune. Long-term period comets originate in Oort cloud, which is a cloud of icy bodies in space.
