Hey, I wonder. The length of time it takes for a comet to all but the sun can hugely vary. There are two types of comets a short period Comet and the long period Comet from their names you can probably guess how long it takes for these comets to orbit the Sun a short period Comet takes less than 200 years to complete an orbit of the Sun that may not sound like a very short length of time for compared to a long period Comet it is a long period Comet can take anything from hundreds of thousands of years to 1 million years to complete an orbit of the Sun. The closer accommet is to the Sun the faster it will move.
