Comets follow very long trajectories through the solar system. When they are close to the Sun and easily visible, the are generally under 15 light-minutes away. (The Sun, by comparison, 8.3 light-minutes away.) When a comet is out beyond the orbit of Neptune, it could easily be 50 or more light-HOURS away, and possibly more than 2 light-WEEKS. The outer boundary of the hypothetical "Oort Cloud" is between 4-10 light-MONTHS.
