No. Most comets are about the same age as the solar system as they formed with it.

Besides planets what is in the solar system?
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.
Is the universe older or younger than the solar system?
The universe is older
Is the universe older than the solar system?
yes we just don't know where it is
What would you see in the solar system other than the planets?
The Sun; planets; moons; dwarf planets; asteroids; meteoroids; interplanetary dust and gas; comets; solar wind...
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.
Which is older the solar system or the galaxy?
The galaxy is older than our Solar System.

Is the universe older or younger than the solar system?
The universe is older
Is the sun older than the solar system?
yes
What are the members of the solar system other than the planets?
The Solar System includes the Sun, planets, moons, asteroids, comets. Also some very tenuous interplanetary dust and gas.
Are there thirty moons in our solar system?
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.
What are the members of the solar system that travel around the sun?
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.
What evidence do we have that comets are permanent solar system members rather than interlopers from other parts of the galaxy?
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.
Are comets as big as the sun?
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.
