That's known as the comet's orbit. Each comet is different - some only taking a few years to complete an orbit, while others can take hundreds of years. The most famous 'Halley's comet' orbits once every 76 years.

∙ 13y agoEvery comet is different. We divide comets into two broad categories; "short period" comets, with periods less than about 200 years, and long-period comets, with longer intervals between passes. Since our recorded astronomical history only goes back about 400 years, there are probably a great number of long-period comets floating far out in space and only just now starting to fall into the inner solar system.
