Halley's comet passes near the Earth every 75-76 years. It then passes very close to the Sun then far out past Pluto's orbit, meaning it has a very eccentric orbital path.
Halley's Comet is in a highly eccentric orbit that brings it close to the sun, where
we can see it, with a period of roughly 75 or 76 years.
Its last perihelion occurred on February 9, 1986, when it sailed around the sun
at roughly half of the Earth's distance.
It's now approaching aphelion ... out between the orbits of Uranus and Neptune ...
where its distance from the sun will peak around December 2023.
Its next perihelion is estimated around the end of July in 2061.

What did Edmund Halley invent?
Edmund Halley did not invent anything, but he was a British astronomer known for calculating the orbit of the comet that now bears his name. Halley's Comet, which passes by Earth approximately every 75-76 years, was the first comet to be recognized as periodic.
What is the major difference between Comet Hyakutake and Halleys comet?
Halley's Comet was a periodic comet; it returns to the inner system every 76 years. Hale-Bopp is a very long-period comet; it may have been last seen in 2215 BC. That may have been Hale-Bopp's first approach to the Sun; its orbit was likely altered by close brushes with Jupiter then, and again during its last pass in 1997. Hale-Bopp's next appearance may be in or around the year 4530 AD.
Does Halleys comet orbits earth in an elongated ellipse?
Yes, Halley's comet orbits the Sun in an elongated elliptical orbit, which means it travels closer to the Sun and then swings far out into space before returning again on its approximately 76-year journey.
