No. Most comets are about the same age as the solar system as they formed with it.
Detailed research on comets indicates that they cannot be older than 4.6 billion years, which is roughly the age of the Solar System. This is because comets are composed of volatile materials that would have sublimated or depleted over long periods of time. Therefore, the age of comets serves as a valuable indicator of the age of the Solar System.
The universe is older
The solar system houses the asteroid belt and the sun, and the outer solar system contains many comets and asteroids, some of them larger than Pluto.
Comets are considered minor members of the solar system because they are smaller and less massive than planets and asteroids. They are composed of ice, dust, and rocky material, and often have highly elliptical orbits that take them far from the Sun. Comets are less numerous and play a smaller role in the dynamics and structure of the solar system compared to planets and asteroids.
Yes, the universe is much older than our solar system. The universe is estimated to be about 13.8 billion years old, while our solar system is only about 4.6 billion years old.

No. There are more than that. There are currently 173 known moons orbiting planets in our solar system and many more orbiting dwarf planets, asteroids, and comets.
The Solar System includes the Sun, planets, moons, asteroids, comets. Also some very tenuous interplanetary dust and gas.
Everything in the solar system other than the sun itself is in orbit around the sun. This includes planets (such as the one we live on), asteroids, and comets.
The trajectories of all observed comets to date have been elliptical, indicating that they orbit the sun. A comet coming in from outside the solar system would follow a hyperbolic trajectory.
No. Comets are tiny compared to the Sun. They orbit the Sun, so they are in the influence of the Sun's gravity, because it is much bigger than them and everything else in the Solar System.
