Halley's Comet - Wikipedia
WEBThe orbit is inclined by 18° to the ecliptic, with much of it lying south of the ecliptic. [ 41 ] This is usually represented as 162°, to account for Halley's retrograde orbit. [ 42 ][ 1 ] That retrograde orbit grants Halley one of the highest velocities relative to the Earth of any object in the Solar System.

WEBComet Halley moves backward (opposite to Earth's motion) around the Sun in a plane tilted 18 degrees to that of the Earth's orbit. Halley's backward, or retrograde, motion is unusual among short-period comets, as its greatest distance from the Sun (aphelion) is beyond the orbit of Neptune.
