No. Halley's Comet is visible for several days when it does appear- about every 75 years. But Einstein was born about 39 years after the visit of the comet- and died 31 years before it's return. However, Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain) was born the year of the appearance of the comet, and was convinced he would die at its return.
No. You may be thinking of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9, which did break up and then crash into Jupiter. Hale-Bopp is still headed outward from the Sun, and is expected to return to the inner solar system around the year 4530.
Halley's Comet will be visible in the sky in 2061.
Almost all known comets follow an elliptical or circular path. This means that, over time, they return to our solar system at regular intervals. Astronomers identify each comet, and track its movement while it's in our 'neighbourhood' - then use the data to predict when it will next return.
The possessive form of the noun comet is comet's. Example: The comet's appearance was calculated for three AM.
Comet Encke has an orbital period of about 3.3 years, so it will next be visible from Earth in 2024. However, it may not always be visible to the naked eye depending on its position in the sky and proximity to the Earth.
2061 or so.
Comet Encke's density is estimated to be very low, around 0.6 grams per cubic centimeter. This low density is due to its composition of ice, dust, and rocky material, which is less dense compared to solid rock.
Edmund Halley PREDICTED the return of the comet which was later named for him.
Mark Twain was born in 1835, the year when Halley's Comet made its closest approach to Earth. Twain famously predicted that he would not die until the next return of the comet. True to his prediction, Twain died in 1910, the year after Halley's Comet's next return.
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.

Halley'scomet. It will return in 2061
It can be seen every 75-76 years. The next predicted perihelion of Halley's Comet will be 28 July 2061.
The last sighting of Halley's Comet was in 1986. It is expected to return in 2061.
He discovered that the comets of 1456, 1531, and 1607 were the same in 1705. In that same year he predicted that that comet would return in 1758. he died in 1742 so he didn't get to see if he was right or not, but the comet in fact did return in 1758.
Comet 46P/Wirtanen is a short-period comet that orbits the Sun every 5.4 years, making it visible from Earth approximately every 11 years. It was last seen in 2018 and is expected to return in 2024.
The duration of Year of the Comet is 1.52 hours.
