The light curves of the visual integral magnitudes of the Tempel 2 short-period comet in its three apparitions (1967 X, 1983 X, and 1988 XIV) have been constructed and investigated. It is shown that, in its different apparitions, the comet preserves its form and light-curve asymmetry, the bends of its branches, symmetric relative to the perihelion, and its high outburst activity. It is found that in the comet's different apparitions, its outbursts are detected at the same heliocentric distances.
