Why is a comet's orbit considered a cycle?
A comets orbit is considered a cycle because a comet circles back in an elliptical orbit.

What is the path of comet around the sun called?
It is called an orbit. A comet has an eccentric or parabolic orbit.
What happens when earth passes through old orbit of a comet?
When Earth passes through the old orbit of a comet, it can intersect with the debris left behind by the comet, which can lead to meteor showers. These particles, often small grains of dust, enter Earth's atmosphere and burn up, creating bright streaks of light known as meteors. The intensity and frequency of the meteor shower depend on the density of the debris trail and the size of the particles. Famous meteor showers, such as the Perseids and Leonids, are linked to specific comets' orbits.
What is the name of the comet that orbits the sun in your solar system?
Any comet visible from earth is in orbit around the sun. If the orbit is closed (elliptical), the comet will return after some period of time. If the orbit is open (parabolic or hyperbolic), the comet will escape the solar system and never return to the neighborhood.
What is a meteor shower and how is it caused?
Meteor showers are the increased level of meteoroids striking Earth's atmosphere as the planet passes through belts of higher meteoroid concentration, normally caused by the passage of a larger object such as a comet. The two main belts that intersect Earth's orbit are: - the Leonids around November 17 (in the orbit of the comet Temple-Tuttle) - the Perseids around August 12 (in the orbit of the comet Swift-Tuttle)

How many earth years does it take a comet to orbit?
Halley's Comet takes 73.5 years to orbit the sun but every comet is different just like planets.
Is a single orbit of a comet called a period?
Yes, the time it takes for a comet to complete 1 orbit is called a period.
What is path of a comet around the sun CALLED?
An orbit

What forces keep the comet in orbit around the sun?
The comet is kept in orbit around the sun by the gravitational pull between the comet and the sun. This gravitational force acts as a centripetal force, keeping the comet moving in its elliptical orbit.
How long does in take for haileys comet take to orbit the earth?
Halley's Comet orbits the sun, not the earth, roughly every 76 years.
