A comet's orbit is typically more elongated and eccentric than Earth's nearly circular orbit around the Sun. While Earth follows a stable, predictable path that keeps it relatively close to the Sun, a comet's orbit can take it far out into the outer solar system before swinging back close to the Sun, often on a multi-year or even multi-century cycle. Additionally, cometary orbits can be influenced by gravitational interactions with other celestial bodies, further altering their trajectories.
What else can I help you with?
Do comets orbit mars and Jupiter?
No. Comets orbit the sun. Many asteroids orbit the sun in between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
Is it possible comets may have any influence in the earths' weather or cycles even the orbit variances?
Comets have a very low mass compared to Earth, so any affect they will have on Earth is from impacts which will affect the global weather.
Are comets moons?
No. Comets are not moons as they orbit the sun, not planets.
What best descrbes a comets orbit?
An elipptical orbit
Do comets orbit the sun in irregular paths?
Comets go around the Sun in a highly elliptical orbit.
Do comets orbit asteroids?
No. Comets orbit the sun.
What planet do comets orbit?
Comets don't orbit a planet, they orbit the sun.
What has a larger orbit comets or planets?
Comets.
Do comets orbit Jupiter?
Yes, some comets have been observed to orbit Jupiter. These comets can either be captured by Jupiter's gravity and become temporary moons, or have their orbits altered by Jupiter's gravitational pull.
How do the orbits of comets differ from the orbits of most asteroids?
Comets are balls of ice and dust in orbit around the Sun. The orbits of comets are different from those of planets - they are elliptical. A comet's orbit takes it very close to the Sun and then far away again.
How are comets and the sun related?

What do commets orbit?
Comets orbit stars
Do comets orbit mars and Jupiter?
No. Comets orbit the sun. Many asteroids orbit the sun in between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
Is it possible comets may have any influence in the earths' weather or cycles even the orbit variances?
Comets have a very low mass compared to Earth, so any affect they will have on Earth is from impacts which will affect the global weather.
Do comets and meteors both orbit the sun?
no only comets.
Are comets moons?
No. Comets are not moons as they orbit the sun, not planets.
