No. A comet is not usually very big (20km or so). What gives a comet its brightness is its tail, which is seen when it approaches the sun, and the Earth's orbit. Then the heat from the sun leads to the release of vapor and water from the comet (which is basically a dirty snowball) - basically a vast cloud behind it which can be many thousands of kilometres long, which is what we see.
At Saturn's orbit, the comet would simply be a dirty snowball, hard to detect even with a powerful telescope. At the low temperatures (like -180c) it wouldn't be releasing any water vapour; at the same time, it would be very far away (at least 1.3 billion km) and it would not be getting much light shone on it (1/90th as much as when it reaches Earth orbit).
What else can I help you with?
Could Saturn be seen without a telescope at night?
Saturn is the last planet that can be seen without using a telescope or binoculars and the planet was known in the ancient world before telescopes were invented. The rings, however, can only be seen using a telescope.
What was the first planet discovered to have rings?
Saturn was the first planet discovered to have rings. They were first observed by Galileo Galilei in 1610 through his telescope.
What is the DATE you can see planet Venus and Saturn without a telescope?
You can see Venus in the evening sky just after sunset and Saturn in the early morning sky just before sunrise. The visibility of planets depends on their position relative to the Sun, so the best times to see them without a telescope change throughout the year.
What planet is closest to earth with rings?
Saturn is the planet that is closest to Earth with rings. Saturn's rings are composed mainly of ice particles and debris, and they can be seen from Earth with a telescope or even binoculars.
Which planet has the most visible rings?
Saturn has three main rings. You need a telescope, but they are visible in a small telescope.
This outer planet can be seen from earth without the aid of a telescope?
Saturn is the outer planet that can be seen from Earth without the aid of a telescope. Its bright rings make it easily visible in the night sky.

Which outer planet can be seen from earth without the aid of a telescope?
Jupiter is the outer planet that can be seen from Earth without the aid of a telescope. It is the fourth-brightest object in the sky after the Sun, Moon, and Venus, making it easily visible to the naked eye.
A large planet famous for its rings?
Saturn is a large planet famous for its rings.Also Jupiter has rings, but not as many as saturn, but still easily seen through a telescope.
When was Planet Saturn discovered?
Saturn has been known since ancient times. The first observation of Saturn using a telescope was made by Galileo in 1610.

Which planet is the easiest to spot using a telescope?
The Earth is definitely the #1 easiest. Next in line would be Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. Each of those is visible without a telescope, so you'd know exactly where to point your telescope by seeing the planet with your eye first. The brightest planet that you do need a telescope to see is Uranus. So you definitely won't miss it when you're pointed at it, but you need to know where to point.
