I would say that the major differences are that stars are fixed points in the sky, while comets orbit the sun elliptically, and that stars are made of gas, whereas comets are made of ice and dust.

Answer:

According to my own knowledge, I would say that the difference between a star and a comet is that the star is a thing that is like the sun, but a comet is something that Moves around the sun and travels.
