Comet Hale-Bopp is the most likely candidate to originate from the Oort Cloud. It has a long orbital period, taking approximately 2,533 years to complete one orbit around the Sun, which is characteristic of comets from the Oort Cloud. In contrast, comets like Borrelly and Hyakutake have shorter orbital periods, indicating they are likely from the Kuiper Belt or are periodic comets.
Some other examples of comets include Comet Halley, Comet Hale-Bopp, and Comet Hyakutake. These comets are known for their brightness, size, and visibility from Earth.

Comets with extremely elliptical orbits like Hyakutake and Hale-Bopp are known as long-period comets. They have orbits that take them far out into the solar system, sometimes beyond the outer planets, before returning back towards the Sun. These comets can take decades or even centuries to complete a single orbit.

Comets have been seen and studied by people for thousands of years. Edmond Halley predicted a comet to return in 1705 which is why we call it Halley's Comet or Comet Halley.
No, Halley's is not the biggest comet. Many comets are bigger.

Edmund Halley. He even had a comet named after him, the Halley Comet.
Comet Hyakutake, named after Japanese astronomer Yuji Hyakutake who discovered it in 1996, did not have specific folklore associated with it as it was a recently discovered astronomical object. However, comets have historically been viewed as omens or harbingers of change in various cultures around the world.
