The orbit of the comet Encke has a perihelion distance of 0.331 AU and an eccentricity of 0.850. Suppose that the arrival of the comet at its perihelion distance happens to occur at a point directly in line between the Sun and the Earth. Roughly how many years will it be before such an event happens again?
