Halley's Comet spends most of its time in the outer regions of the solar system, specifically in the Kuiper Belt and the Oort Cloud. It has an elongated orbit that takes about 76 years to complete, bringing it close to the Sun and Earth during its perihelion. During its long journey, it remains far from the inner solar system for the majority of its orbit.

Why does Halleys comet travel through our solar system regularly?

Halley's comet is in orbit round the sun. Its orbit time is about 75 years, but as the orbital path is long and narrow, most of that is spent far out where we cannot see it. We see it for a few months when it is near the sun.

In what year was the last time halleys comet was 10 miles above the earth?

Halley's Comet has never been 10 miles above Earth. It is always millions of miles from us, even when closest to us. It was last visible from Earth in 1986. It will next be visible in 2061.


Why are halebopps comet and halleys comet important?

By themselves, comets are not really important. Even the most impressive comet, like Hale-Bopp, is a visual spectacle only. But the POTENTIAL for a comet - to strike the Earth directly and cause untold devastation - is far more significant. Right now, if we were to see a comet aimed at the Earth, there is very little that we could do about it, other than stand there and die. The threat of a comet impact, like the ones that have devastated our planet several times before, ought to be enough spur us all into looking for ways to protect ourselves from the inevitable time that it WILL happen again.


What is the best time of day to view Halleys comet in March?

You can't see Halley's Comet at any time of the year now. It was last seen from Earth in 1986 and won't be seen from Earth again until 2061. It orbits the Solar System, taking about 75 to 76 years to do so, so it can only be seen about that often from Earth.
