Transcription: Other comets become captured in smaller, shorter elliptical orbits, mostly due to the immense gravitational pull of Jupiter. Some of these short-period comets never venture much further than Jupiter's orbit and have revolutionary periods ranging from 3 to 15 years. Halley's Comet has the longest period of these short-period comets and visits the inner solar system every 76 years.
