Many cultures have superstitious beliefs about comets and asteroids. The Philippines do not seem to share superstitions of comets and asteroids.
There are no comets that orbit the planet Mars. Comets, some, orbit the sun. Mars on the other hand does have two moons, Phobos and Deimos.
From my understanding, comets like to hang out way way past Pluto. Kind of like the asteroid belt. Some comets have 100 - 10,000 year orbit around our sun. But as for your question that's where the majority of the comets are.The above answer is right, partly. Comets are found just outside of the orbit of Pluto, in the Kuiper Belt. Another place is where beyond the Kuiper Belt though is the Oort Cloud. Hundreds upon thousands of comets are found in the Oort Cloud, which surrounds the Sun and all of the planets.Comets originate in the Kuiper Belt.
No. Comets orbit the sun. Many asteroids orbit the sun in between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
they have long elliptical orbits
There is no set number, because new comets are discovered all the time. Not all comets that are discovered will be visible with the naked eye.

There are no comets on Neptune because Neptune is a planet and comets are, well, comets. They have nothing to do with each other.
The years 1776 and 2017 are 241 years apart. You can find this by subtracting 1776 from 2017, which gives you 241.
Last sighting was by E. Loder in 1894 though this statement can be highly debated upon.
