It is more circular. :-]
Jupiter has 4332 days in a year because its orbit around the Sun is much larger compared to Earth's orbit. Jupiter's greater distance from the Sun means it takes longer for the planet to complete one orbit, resulting in a longer year on Jupiter compared to Earth.
A comets orbit is considered a cycle because a comet circles back in an elliptical orbit.

It is called an orbit. A comet has an eccentric or parabolic orbit.
One year on Ganymede, which is a moon of Jupiter, is equivalent to about 7.15 Earth days. Ganymede's orbit around Jupiter is much shorter than Earth's orbit around the Sun, which takes approximately 365.25 days.

Comets are basically huge, dirty snowballs that circle the sun in irregular, elliptical orbits. Some comets have fairly regular patterns of orbit such as Haley's. If a comet bisects the orbit of a planet or other solar body, it can cause massive damage. Remember, it was the Hale-Bopp comet that struck Jupiter fairly recently, and that punched holes in Jupiter's atmosphere that remained visible for weeks.
No, Comet Hale-Bopp did not crash into Jupiter. Comet Hale-Bopp made a close approach to the Earth in 1997, but its trajectory did not intersect with Jupiter.
No, Jupiter's orbit is not a perfect circle but rather an ellipse. This means its distance from the Sun varies over time. However, Jupiter's orbit is very close to being circular compared to some other planets in our solar system.
Jupiter. Jupiter was hit in 1994 by a comet called Shoemaker Levy9.

No.No.No.No.

Asteroids are thought to have a different origin from comets, having formed inside the orbit of Jupiter rather than in the outer Solar System.
Right now, on March 20, 2011? There is none. The frozen core of Halley's Comet is drifting away from the Sun, and is out past the orbit of Neptune and slowing down. In about 10 years, Halley's Comet will reach aphelion (the farthest point in its orbit) and slowly begin to fall back inward. The comet probably won't develop any kind of tail until it gets in about to the orbit of Jupiter; that will be around 2055 or so.
