Every 75 -76 years, so it will reappear sometime between 2061- 2062

How often does Halley's Comet appear and where and when will it be seen again?
Every 75 to 76 years. Won't be back around for another 47-48.
What is the best time of day to view Halleys comet in March?
You can't see Halley's Comet at any time of the year now. It was last seen from Earth in 1986 and won't be seen from Earth again until 2061. It orbits the Solar System, taking about 75 to 76 years to do so, so it can only be seen about that often from Earth.
What is a famous comet and how often does it appear in the sun?
The most famous regularly returning comet is named Halley's comet. It nears the Sun every 74 years. Last seen in 1986.
How often does Halley ' comet appear?
Every 76 years or so. The last known sighting was in 1986, the next in 2061 or 2062.
Comet Hale-Bopp appears how often?
The Hale-Bopp Comet will appear in the inner-solar system in approximately the year 4377. This is due to on April 1996 the comet passed within 0.77-0.771 AU of Jupiter, this distance is close enough for the comet's orbit to be affected by the planet's gravitational force.
How often does a comet appear and why then?
Many comets orbit the sun. How often we see them depends on their orbits. Halley's Comet, the most famous one, returns about every 75 years. It was last seen in 1986 and is expected again in 2061.

How often does halleys commet appear?
Every 76 years or so. The precise orbit is difficult to calculate precisely because the irregular thrust given off by escaping gasses, and by the variance of Halley's passes by the outer planets.

What does the name Halley's comet means?
Halley's Comet had been recorded every 76 years or so since about 200 BC; Edmund Halley was the first person to realize that the comets of 1531, 1607 and 1682 were in fact the SAME comet coming back again and again, and he predicted that the comet would again be visible in 1758. Edmund Halley himself did not live to see the comet's scheduled return, but in his honor the comet was named "Halley's Comet". A comet is a small, cold object in orbit round our sun. Every so often its orbit brings the comet close to the sun. A comet consists largely of ices. When it gets close to the sun these ices become vapour. The pressure of the solar wind and the light from the sun blow these vapours away from the sun, giving the comet a long tail. This tail is illuminated by sunlight and is often easily visible to the naked eye. Its name comes from Edmond Halley, an English astronomer who saw it in 1682, and recognised it as a periodic comet which had been passing close to the sun every 76 years for hundreds of years.
How often does comet halley appear in your skies?
Which skies are mine? I mean, if I get to choose them, it would appear every other night. However, in the boring old skies we all have to share, it only shows up about every 76 years.
What comet is Mark Twain often associated with and why?
I think that he is often associated with Halley's Comet because he was born during a visit from the comet and he predicted that he would "go out with it" as well. As predicted, he died the day following the comet's subsequent return.
