| Why is the share of bright comets higher among comets with parabolic or even hyperbolic orbits, and among short-period comets (with a period of less than 100 years) there are very few bright comets?
With each approach to the Sun, the comet loses some of its substance. Short-period comets gradually lose their brightness.
