Halley's Comet orbits the sun every 75.3 years. For most of this time it is far out from the sun, up to 35 Astronomical Units (or AU, where 1 AU = sun to earth distance). At this distance, its speed is a lot slower, and it has no tail due to the low temperatures at this distance.

It last appeared in our skies in 1986, it will not be around again until the middle of 2061.
