Comets like Hale-Bopp do not rotate on their axis like planets or moons. Instead, they follow an orbit around the Sun. Hale-Bopp has an orbital period of about 2,533.6 years, which means it takes that amount of time to complete one orbit around the Sun.
Hyakutake is a long-period comet. Before its most recent passage through the solar system, its orbital period was about 17,000 years, but the gravitational influence of the giant planets has increased this period to 102,070 years.
Comets with extremely elliptical orbits like Hyakutake and Hale-Bopp are known as long-period comets. They have orbits that take them far out into the solar system, sometimes beyond the outer planets, before returning back towards the Sun. These comets can take decades or even centuries to complete a single orbit.
It's still traveling in outer space...where else could it be? And hopefully the 3 Saturn Shaped UFO's that came with it, that I observed while on Earth have finished their mission. TRUE THAT!!

It has a rapid rotation of 10.6 hours.
Comet Hale-Bopp is still visible in very large telescopes; estimates indicate that it will be visible until 2030, and may be visible longer than that in the improved telescopes of ten years from now.Comet Hale-Bopp is not expected to return to the inner solar system until the year 4390.

That all depends on the comet Halley's takes about 76 years where as Hale Bopp takes about 2300 years. Its the same principle with the planets the closer the orbit the faster it goes. Some Comets like Hale Bopp come from the Oort cloud about a light year away that is why it takes so long, where as Halley's goes out round Pluto and back again.
