Halley’s Comet, during it’s last visit to the inner Solar System, had a velocity relative to Earth of roughly 150,000 mph.

Volcanos can do that?

The “Slingshot effect” that our research vehicles also use can do that.

Large ejecta from volcanoes did often escape near orbit of the Earth. The dusty stuff always falls way short.
