Answer:
Yes. All of the comets in the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud are part of the solar system. They orbit our Sun, and obey the same laws of motion as the planets and their moons. Comets also started with the same materials that planets like Earth were made from.

Comets orbit the Sun just like planets and asteroids do, except a comet usually has a very elongated orbit. As thecomet gets closer to the Sun, some of the ice starts to melt and boil off, along with particles of dust. These particles and gases make a cloud around the nucleus, called a coma.
