An account from the chapter on Green city, in the words of 1908.

The county history of 1908 has no passage naming this settlement, which was common for the smaller places. Its township is covered in full.

Museums hold 228 specimens collected within 10 miles of Comet between 1887 and 1972: 200 Animalia, 24 Plantae, 3 Fungi, 1 Bacteria. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. W. Cusick, Armbruster, D. C. (Daniel C.), B.A. Wilson and others. Each is a physical object with a catalogue number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be concluded from a species being absent.

All 228 specimens within 10 miles, at the Global Biodiversity Information Facility.

The federal mineral resources record lists 5 workings within 5 miles of Comet: 3 producers, 1 past producer, 1 plant. 4 still produce. What was taken out: Sand and Gravel, Construction, Stone, Crushed/Broken, Clay, Coal. Distance is straight-line from the map coordinates, so a quarry counted here may appear on a neighbouring settlement's page as well.

Every working recorded in Summit County

The National Weather Service names Comet in 4 storm reports between 2019 and 2023: 3 thunderstorm wind, 1 tornado. No death or injury is recorded in these reports. Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date opens the federal record of that event.

Matched on this settlement's Geographic Names Information System number rather than its name, so it cannot be a different place of the same name in another state.

This settlement is recorded in the Geographic Names Information System as feature 1039285.
