Difference between Halley's Comet and Retrograde and prograde motion

Halley's Comet vs. Retrograde and prograde motion

Halley's Comet or Comet Halley, officially designated 1P/Halley, is a short-period comet visible from Earth every 74–79 years. Retrograde motion in astronomy is, in general, orbital or rotational motion of an object in the direction opposite the rotation of its primary, that is the central object (right figure).

Similarities between Halley's Comet and Retrograde and prograde motion

Halley's Comet and Retrograde and prograde motion have 14 things in common (in Unionpedia): Comet, Earth, Ecliptic, Jupiter, Kuiper belt, Milky Way, Oort cloud, Orbital eccentricity, Perihelion and aphelion, Pluto, Saturn, Solar System, Sun, Venus.

Comet

A comet is an icy small Solar System body that, when passing close to the Sun, warms and begins to release gases, a process called outgassing.

Kuiper belt

The Kuiper belt, occasionally called the Edgeworth–Kuiper belt, is a circumstellar disc in the outer Solar System, extending from the orbit of Neptune (at 30 AU) to approximately 50 AU from the Sun.

Orbital eccentricity

The orbital eccentricity of an astronomical object is a parameter that determines the amount by which its orbit around another body deviates from a perfect circle.

Perihelion and aphelion

The perihelion of any orbit of a celestial body about the Sun is the point where the body comes nearest to the Sun.
