Comets are called 'comets' because of a Greek origin. The words was derived from the Greek word 'kometes' or 'stars with hair,' and was then changed in Latin to 'cometes,' which is where the English spelling is derived from.
Comets are Comets and Asteroids are Asteroids
No, they are not. They come from regions of asteroids that exist within our own solar system. Long period comets, the ones that appear once in thousands of years, probably come from the Oort Cloud, a spherical cloud of small icy asteroids believed to exist at the farthest outer reaches of the solar system. Short period comets like Halley's probably come from the Kuiper Belt, a ring of asteroids just beyone Neptune's orbit. The minor planet Pluto is the most famous Kuiper object. Not all objects in the Oort Cloud and Kuiper Belt are comets; in fact most are not.
Comets!
comets are formed from ice and gases
No. Comets are not moons as they orbit the sun, not planets.
Asteroids and Comets.
This mostly happened due to many meteorites and comets bombarding the surface of the planet.

Probably, but no one can prove it true or false, because there is only circumstantial evidence today. However, it would make sense (depending on your belief of the age of the universe), because comets are a normal part of our universe.

There are no comets on Neptune because Neptune is a planet and comets are, well, comets. They have nothing to do with each other.
comets crash into all planets!Planets don't have comets. Planets have moons. Comets orbit the sun
