They appear shining due to reflections of sunlight and emerge suddenly in the sky and can be seen for some days, weeks or months.

The comets whose motion can be calculated and dates of their appearance predicted are called periodic comets. Their motion, like planets, can also be direct or retrograde. Some of the periodic comets are Helley and Eneke. Halley comet was first seen in 1531 and then it appeared seven times subsequently.
