comet is mostly made out of rock, dust,a nd freezing water
Halley's comet's mass (weight) is exactly 2.2×1014 (TO the power of 14)
Comet auctions work the same way as any other auction works, but they are hosted by the company named Comet. An item is sold to the highest bidder after a specified amount of time ends.
No, Halley's Comet does not have rings. It is a periodic comet that orbits the Sun every 75-76 years, and its nucleus is surrounded by a glowing coma and a tail formed by dust and gas particles as it gets closer to the Sun.
The tail of a comet is longest when the comet is closest to the sun, as the sun's heat causes the comet's icy surface to vaporize, creating a bright glowing tail that streams away from the comet.
The Comet ended in 1933.
Halley didn't exactly find the comet named after him; doing calculations on the basis of several observations, he calculated the orbit and predicted when the comet would return. This was confirmed - the comet returned - after his death.Halley didn't exactly find the comet named after him; doing calculations on the basis of several observations, he calculated the orbit and predicted when the comet would return.

It is not exactly a sphere, the longest axis is 15km and the shortest one is 8km.

We don't know exactly. The person who recognized that it was the same comet appearing periodically every 76 years or so was Edmund Halley, but we don't know who was the first to ever see it.

It is a comet.
Halley's Comet
The comet's tail is in front of the comet, not after
Halley's Comet had been seen every 76 years since at least 240 BC, and probably earlier than that. But most people didn't live 76 years, and the written records weren't exactly common back then. So few people noticed that there was a comet coming by every 76 years. Edmund Halley DID make the connection, and analyzed the data of comet appearances in 1531, 1607 and 1682. In 1705, Halley said that these were all the SAME comet, and that the comet would return in 1758. It did (just barely!) and was named Halley's Comet in his honor.
