Detailed explanation-1: -1 Answer. Planetary orbits are all nearly circular, comet orbits are highly excentric . All orbits around the sun are elliptic, but the planetary orbits look more like a circle, while the comet orbits look more like a cigar (with the sun near one of the tips).
Detailed explanation-2: -Comet is a celestial body that revolves around the sun in a very long period of revolution. While a planet revolves around the sun in a short period of revolution. Also, a comet appears like a ball of fire with a long bright tail, and the size of the tail increases as it approaches the sun.
Detailed explanation-3: -All orbits are elliptical, which means they are an ellipse, similar to an oval. For the planets, the orbits are almost circular. The orbits of comets have a different shape. They are highly eccentric or “squashed.” They look more like thin ellipses than circles.
