What is the major difference between Comet Hyakutake and Halleys comet?
Halley's Comet was a periodic comet; it returns to the inner system every 76 years. Hale-Bopp is a very long-period comet; it may have been last seen in 2215 BC. That may have been Hale-Bopp's first approach to the Sun; its orbit was likely altered by close brushes with Jupiter then, and again during its last pass in 1997. Hale-Bopp's next appearance may be in or around the year 4530 AD.
What is Halleys Comet's composition?
Halley's Comet is primarily composed of ice, dust, and rocky material. Its nucleus contains water ice, carbon dioxide, ammonia, and various organic compounds. This mixture gives the comet its characteristic bright coma and tail when it approaches the Sun, as the heat causes the ices to vaporize and release gas and dust. Halley's Comet is known for its periodic appearances, returning approximately every 76 years.
