Comets are ephemeral, though a few recur with a regular period. Halleys Comet is the classic example of this.

Some comets have return periods considered greater than, or comparable with the age of the universe. Many are bound within the Solar System, with one of their orbital foci near the Sun, and the other in their region of origin.

A Comet consists of a body containing evaporable material - ice or gas - and depending upon how close to the Sun they pass, they will eventually lose most of their mass.

The comet's tail points away from the Sun, and is made from the volatile components evaporated by the Solar Wind or by particles from the Sun.
