What makes halleys comet unique?
Halley's Comet is unique because it is one of the most famous comets known to humanity due to its regular appearance every 75-76 years. It is also the only short-period comet that is visible to the naked eye from Earth and has been recorded by humans for over 2,000 years. Additionally, Halley's Comet contains a nucleus made of ice, dust, and rocky material that gradually vaporizes as it gets closer to the Sun, creating its iconic glowing tail.
What comet has longest tail ever recorded?
as far as i am aware it is haley's comet
Has a comet ever come into contact with earth?
Probably several times. It is assumed that a third of Earth water came from comets and it was a comet that hit the Earth 65 million years ago and caused the dinosaur extinction.
What is the name of the comet that supposedly appears every 2000 years or so and was last seen in the mid 90's?
"Periodic" comets reappear at predictable intervals, such as Haley's Comet. Some comets are never seen again. A few crash into the Sun and are destroyed; a few crash into other planets, such as the Shoemaker-Levy comet that hit Jupiter. Many comets have such long periods, in terms of thousands of years, that no records exist that anyone ever saw them before.
What year will it be when you can next see Halley's comet if it takes 76 years to orbit?
The next time Halley's comet will be visible from Earth is in 2061. Halley's comet has an orbital period of about 76 years, so it will be approximately 76 years from the last time it was seen in 1986.
Who discoverd halleys comet?
We don't know exactly. The person who recognized that it was the same comet appearing periodically every 76 years or so was Edmund Halley, but we don't know who was the first to ever see it.

What year did Edmund halley discover halley's comet?
Edmund Halley didn't discover the comet, he predicted when it would return. Up to his time no-one had been able to say when a comet would appear. In 1705, using Newtons laws of gravity, he was able to calculate the effects on a comet of the gravity of planets like Jupiter and Saturn; this allowed him to identify comets recorded in 1682, 1607, and 1531 as the same comet. He then calculated it appeared every 76 years and predicted its return in 1758. Halley himself didn't live to see it, but it turned up right on time, was given his name, and has been Halley's comet ever since.
