Encarta Answers  | Halley’s Comet: Comet, or ball of ice and dust orbiting the sun, that can be seen from the earth once about every 76 years. It travels in a very elongated path around the sun, in a direction opposite to that of the planets. The path of the comet extends from near the sun to beyond the planet Neptune. The periods between its approach to the earth usually vary from 75 to 79 years because the gravitational forces of other planets changes the comet’s orbit slightly. |
