What happens when sunlight hits a comet?
When it is from very far away, nothing. But when a comet approaches the inner Solar System,solar radiation causes the volatile materials within the comet to vaporize and stream out of the nucleus, carrying dust away with them. That is what we call the 'tail' of a comet.

Halley's Comet never comes to Earth. The comet - as with all astronomical bodies - follows its own orbit, falling endlessly through the solar system. Halley's Comet is currently a little further from the Sun than the orbit of Neptune, moving very slowly outward from the Sun. It will linger there, reaching the peak of its orbit in about 15 years, before beginning its long slow fall back into the inner solar system.

What does Halley's comet travel through our solar system regularly?
Halley's Comet is PART OF our solar system. Halley's Comet is the best-known of the short-period comets, returning to the inner solar system every 76 years or so. It never gets much further away than the orbit of Neptune.

How often does Halley's comet visit the inner part of the solar system?
Usually once every 76 years.
Halley's Comet returns to the inner solar system every?
74 yo 76 years
What does Halley's comet mean for the future?
What does Halley's Comet mean for the future? Nothing special; the comet will return to the inner solar system in 2061, and ought to be a pretty special view. But in the grand scheme of things, it has no special significance.
