Explanation

Comets are icy bodies that orbit the Sun in highly elliptical orbits. They develop characteristic tails (coma and tails) when they approach the Sun due to sublimation of ice and solar wind effects. Comets do not orbit planets like Earth, Venus, or Jupiter - those are solar system bodies, not the center of cometary orbits.
