A lying "Do comets move thru the solar corona" question when Sol88 knows that the solar corona only extends a few solar radii so only sun grazing comets go into the corona.
Well, if you say so...

The corona is the outer atmosphere of the Sun. It extends many thousands of kilometers (miles) above the visible "surface" of the Sun, gradually transforming into the solar wind that flows outward through our solar system.
Ok, my bad... a better question would be, how far does the solar plasma extend?
Ummmm..... All comets move thru the solar wind, funnily enough, so do asteroid! Some are even active asteroids (rocky comets), Bennu for an instance.

Please, reality check, please...
