earth is much larger than a comet. Comets look like huge dirty snowballs, and they have a tail.
A comet can appear larger than the sun when it is closer to Earth and has a larger visible tail. The tail of a comet can extend for millions of miles, creating the illusion of a bigger size compared to the sun when viewed from our perspective on Earth.
There is no relationship whatsoever between Earth's moon and any comet.
The name of the comet seen in 1986 is Halley's Comet. You can see it every 75-76 years, and is the only short period comet that is clearly visible to the naked eye from earth, and thus the only naked-eye comet that might appear twice in a human lifetime.
The next notable comet scheduled to pass by Earth is Comet Leonard, which is expected to be visible in December 2021. It will be the brightest comet of the year and should be observable with binoculars or a small telescope from dark sky locations. Keep an eye out for updates from astronomers as the date approaches for the best viewing opportunities.
