Wikimedia Commons has media related to Comets.
Comets are objects in the Solar System that exhibit a coma and/or a tail of debris pointing away from the Sun.
For the very few asteroids in this category, a 0-padded 6-digit sortkey should be created from its numerical designation. Otherwise, use its provisional designation. For example:
- 2060 Chiron would use
[[Category:Comets|002060]].
