Comets orbit the sun, and, in general, their orbits are an elipse with a very long major axis. They make a trip deep into the outer reaches of the solar system, and then, after may years, travel back past the planets to loop around the sun. Then they head back out into the outer solar system again.

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.
Why is a comet orbit considered a cycle?

What is the path of comet around the sun called?
It is called an orbit. A comet has an eccentric or parabolic orbit.
What makes a comet look like a comet?
by its shiny blue trail.
What does halleys commit look like?
Halley's Comet is a periodic comet that is visible from Earth roughly every 75-76 years. When it passes close to the sun, it develops a bright coma and a visible tail. Halley's Comet is known for its long, elliptical orbit that takes it from the outer solar system to the inner solar system.
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.
What is the orbit of a meteroid?
Meteroid orbits are random. Much like a comet.

How was Halley's comet created?
It was created like any other comet: Ice chunks fuse together to the nucleus of the comet and it obtains an orbit around the sun.

What force keeps a comit in orbit?
The force that keeps a comet in orbit around a larger celestial body, like the sun, is gravity. The gravitational pull between the comet and the larger body keeps the comet moving in a curved path around it.
What is path of a comet around the sun CALLED?
An orbit
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 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.
