Only if they fall into elliptical orbits that take them close to the sun.
So long as they stay in the Ort cloud, they're planetesimals.

Comets are probably made from leftover matter from the formation of?
The Solar System
Are comets made from the leftover matter from the formation of the sun?
Comets are made up of left over matter from the formation of the solar system.
What is interplanetary debris?
Interplanetary debris is leftover stuff from remmants of planets(Asteroids) or comets or metoroids
What are comets called and why?
Comets are called this because of the ice and dust inside the nucleus. Now go look up everything else on your own.
Where do asteroids and comets come from?
Asteroids are minor planets, especially those of the Inner Solar System. However, between the orbital paths of Mars and Jupiter lie a region known as the asteroid belt. Many asteroids come from there, but most of them stay there. Short-period comets originate from the Kuiper Belt, just outside the orbit of Neptune, while long-period comets are thought to originate in the Oort cloud.
Planetesimals made of ice are called what?
Planetesimals made from ice and sometimes rock are called comets.
What are chunks of rock or dust that form comets?
In the "nebular hypothesis", clouds of gas and dust can lead to the formation of "planetesimals". Some of these become comets. So I think the question refers to "planetesimals".
do comets come from a black hole?
No. Comets are made from the leftover material when a solar system forms.
Comets are probably made from leftover matter from the formation of?
The Solar System
Will the planets colide?
No, the solar system planets are all in stable orbits. That may not be the case for the asteroids, comets, and distant planetesimals.

What is a body in space that does not produce light and revolve around the sun?
Planets, planetesimals, moons, comets, asteroids, and space dust all orbit the Sun and none produce any light.
What are the solar systems comets called?
.... errr - well comets.
Forces is responsible for keeping the planets in orbit around the Sun?
The solar system's planets, planetesimals, asteroids, and comets are held in orbit by the force of gravity, the mutual attraction between these objects and the Sun.
What are comets sometimes called?
snowballs
Comets that appear within every 200 years are called comets?
long period comet
