The usual answer is "comets," although in a technical sense, the bodies aren't comets while they're still in the Oort Cloud, but only become so when they fall toward the Sun. The word "comet" means "hairy" and refers to the dust blown off the body by the solar wind. While still in the Oort Cloud, they should really be called "planetismals."

∙ 13y agoA comet, probably, depending on its orbit. If the orbit is highly elliptical and the body comes close enough to the Sun to vaporize some of the ice into a gassy halo, then it would be a comet.
A similar object in a more circular orbit that keeps it far away from the Sun might be called an asteroid, or (if far enough out from the Sun) a Kuiper Belt Object.

∙ 9y agoYou could be describing a comet.
'Large' is what I call a rubber word ... one that means different things
to different people all the time, and may mean different things to the
same person at different times or in different circumstances. A comet
is smaller than a planet or a star, but larger than a breadbox or a house.
Also, by the way, comets don't all necessarily orbit the sun.

although not all comets necessarily orbit the sun.

What is an example of matter in the body?
Matter can be considered solids, liquids, gases, Bose Einstein condensates, and plasmas. Water is a matter that can be found in the body. Oxygen is also matter in the body.
Do gas diffuse?
by cooling
Path of one body in space around another is?
The circular path is known as an orbit.
What is the difference between commet and asteroid?
The difference between a comet and an asteroid is asteroids are made up of metals and rock materials, while comets are made up of ice, rocks, and dust. Both of them were formed more than 4.5 million years ago.
What is the definititon of orbit?
An "orbit" is the path traced as one body moves round another body under the influence of gravity.
Does Pluto have solids liquids or gases on it?
Pluto is a solid body with small amounts of gas in its atmosphere, but no known liquids.

Why was Pluto considered a planet?
A planet is a large body of rock or gases. Even though Pluto looks small, it isn't. In fact, Pluto is 1,500 miles across. Pluto is made out of frozen gases.
What type of earthquake wave can go through solids and liquids?
P-waves can pass through liquids,solids,and gases. A P-wave is a type of body wave that has an up and down motion. Another type of body wave is the S-wave. S-waves CAN'T pass through liquids but they can pass through solids and gases. I hope that answered your question. =)
What is the name of a body in orbit around the sun?
Our Earth is a body that is in orbit round the Sun.
Why are some gases poisonous?
There are many substances which are hazardous if they get into your body. Some are solids, some are liquids and some are gases.

Why does your body have more liquids then solids?
Cause your body contains a very high temperature causing the solids to dissolve into liquids
Most water loss occurs through which body system?
Most water loss occurs through the urinary system. Urine is comprised of approximately 95% water and 5% dissolved solids & gases.
Why is sun a hot body of gases?
Sun is a hot body of gases because of the preseence of gases like hydrogen and helium.
Do gas diffuse?
by cooling
What is a body body in orbit around the sun that has defined sufficient mass gravity and a clear orbit?
A planet.
What is the path of one body around another in space called?
Orbit, if it is closed otherwise one might call it a trajectory.
