Comets are pull into an elliptical orbit by the gravitational pull of the sun. Usually the comets have sufficient energy to escape and move back into deep space outside of the normal radius of the solar system. However comets are destroyed by the heat and the of gravity of the sun. ( Comets are estimated to have a life span of only 5-10,000 yearjecs maybe 20,000)
The high velocity of the comets and astroids usually allows them to escape the gravitational pull of the sun and other planets. However many Astroids and comets do collide with other objects in the solar system
