THE ORBIT OF A COMET. Comets go around the Sun in a highly elliptical orbit. They can spend hundreds and thousands of years out in the depths of the solar system before they return to Sun at their perihelion. Like all orbiting bodies, comets follow Kepler's Laws - the closer they are to the Sun, the faster they move.
Short-Period Comets. Of the almost 1,000 known comets, 205 orbit the Sun in less than 100 years. They are called short-period comets, because the time for each to orbit the Sun once, called the period, is shortâless than 100 years. Short-period comets usually travel near Earthâs orbital plane, called the ecliptic.Almost all (190) are prograde; that is, they orbit the Sun in the same direction as the planets.hey are called short-period comets, because the time for each to orbit the Sun once, called the period, is shortâless than 100 years.
