It is elliptical with a period of 75.3 years and a semimajor axis of 17.8 astronomical units, a little smaller than Uranus's orbit.
The eccentricity is 0.967 so that is approaches within 0.586 astronomical units of the Sun, and it is due back on July 28, 2061. It goes out to 35.1 astronomical units, beyond the orbit of Neptune. The inclination of the orbit is 162.3 degrees.

What are the chunks of ice and dust that orbit the sun?

When is Comelian's Comet coming back?
Halley's Comet or Comet Halley (officially designated 1P/Halley) is the most famous of theperiodic comets and can currently be seen every 75--76 years. Halley's Comet last appeared in the inner Solar System in 1986, and will next appear in mid-2061.
Does the Halley's Comet ever leave our Solar System?
No. Halley's Comet barely gets past the orbit of Neptune, and not by much. It is well short of reaching into the Kuiper Belt.
What is a halley's comet orbit like?
All orbits are ellipses. Some orbits, like the orbit of the Earth around the Sun, are almost (but not quite) circular. Other objects, like the Moon or Mars, have orbits that are more distinctly oval shaped.Comets have elliptical orbits with very high eccentricity; they are stretched so that they come quite close to the Sun, but still go dozens or hundreds of AU away. Some comets are less severely eccentric. Halley's Comet, for example, only goes out to about 30AU with a period of 76 years, while Comet Hale-Bopp has a period of closer to 2200 years.

How far away is Halley's comet from the sun?
Halley's Comet is currently a little beyond the orbit of Neptune.
What did Edmund Halley invent?
Edmund Halley did not invent anything, but he was a British astronomer known for calculating the orbit of the comet that now bears his name. Halley's Comet, which passes by Earth approximately every 75-76 years, was the first comet to be recognized as periodic.
Why does halleys comet appear?
Halley's comet appears because it is a comet that orbits the Sun. It as a highly elliptical (oval) orbit which makes it seem to fly out of the solar system and back.
Does halleys comet cause catastrophies?
No. The only way a comet could cause a catastrophe would be if it collided with Earth. The orbit of Halley's Comet keeps it at a safe distance from us.

Does Halleys comet orbits earth in an elongated ellipse?
Yes, Halley's comet orbits the Sun in an elongated elliptical orbit, which means it travels closer to the Sun and then swings far out into space before returning again on its approximately 76-year journey.
