Is halleys comet long period or short period comet?
That depends on what you call 'long' or 'short'. Halley's period is in the neighborhood of 75 years, give or take a few years. Since that's short enough for two perihelions to occur within a single human lifetime, I guess it ought to be considered a short period.
What years did the comet come?
There are several dozen known periodic comets, and we have observed many long-period comets as well. New ones are discovered every year. In fact, a new comet was discovered last fall, and should be nicely visible in the spring. If you are referring to Halley's Comet, it was last seen in 1910 and then in 1986, and is expected to be back around in 2061 or so. However, observations of Halley's Comet go back to the 3rd century BC. Check the Related Links below for more info.
What gives comets there tails?
A comet contains a lot of rocks and frozen water. As the comet approaches the sun, it starts to get warmer. The water on its surface begins to evaporate. The solar wind blows it away from the comet. When the water vapor gets away from the comet, it turns into water or ice. People can not see water vapor. They can see drops of water and ice. The evaporated water vapor streams behind the comet carried by the solar wind. The comet comes close to the sun and then goes back. The solar wind keeps blowing its tail away from the direction of the sun.
What is a long-period comet?
A comet with a period of 200 years or more.
What part or parts of a comet come and go during a comet's orbit?
The tail. The tail is composed of gas and dust released from the comet nucleus when it approaches the Sun. Comet tails can be incredibly long, some as long as 150 million kilometers. As the comet recedes out into the Solar System away from the warmth of the Sun, it stops shedding dust and gas and the comet loses its tail.
What is the name of the star which get a long tail when they come close to earth?

What does hale-bopp orbit around?
Comet Hale-Bopp orbits the Sun. It is a very long-period comet; we expect it back in about 2200 years. Perhaps before then we'll go out and get it.
What type of comet is hale bopp?

How long does it typically take for hot water to come back after running out?
The time it takes for hot water to come back after running out can vary, but it usually ranges from 30 minutes to a few hours, depending on the size of the water heater and how quickly it can heat up the water again.
What is a long term or short term comet?
