Hi all!
Mechanics of comet motion.
Community of Russian scientists. https://vk.com/rosuch
A comet is born when a satellite, orbiting a planet during the new moon phase, breaks out of orbit.
Having left the planet's orbit, the satellite moves against the rotation of the Sun, due to which the centrifugal force of the satellite is reduced, and as a result, the satellite rushes towards the Sun.

If the orbital speed of the satellite is greater than the orbital speed of the planet, then the satellite moves around the Sun in the opposite direction.

The eccentricity of a comet's orbit can be expressed using the following formula. E = Vp/Vs.
Jupiter's orbital speed is - 12 km/sec.
Io's orbital speed is - 17 km/sec.

Rotating around the common center of mass of the pair, the planet and satellite are in a state of orbital resonance.
At aphelion, the orbital resonance of the system - the planet and the satellite - increases.

Halley's Comet moves around the Sun in a highly elongated orbit.
Perhaps Halley's comet, revolving around a small planet, entered an orbital resonance with the planet and fell out of orbit. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minor_planet
Also, the orbital resonance of planetary satellites is increased by the disturbance of neighboring satellites, orbital inclination and eccentricity. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_resonance
In the new moon phase, when the orbital speed of the planet and the satellite are equal, the centrifugal force acting on the satellite from the Sun is zero.
