Are most comets found in either Oort cloud or the asteroid belt?
Rocky asteroids. Icy comets often live in and come from the Kuiper Belt.
Where is a comet located?
Comets are believed to have originated from asteroids in a sort of 'cloud', called the 'Oort Cloud'. It is thought all comets come from the Oort Cloud, which is a cloud of asteroids beyond the Kuiper Belt beyond Neptune. When one asteroid is knocked off from its orbit from the Oort Cloud, it makes really long trips around the Sun, which is why it becomes a comet. All of the asteroids in the Oort Cloud have some type of ice on them, since they are so far away from the sun that everything in the Oort Cloud seems to freeze.
What is the difference of kuiper belt and oort coud?
The Kuiper belt is composed of asteroids and the Orrt cloud is composed of comets.
Are comets from other galaxies?
No, they are not. They come from regions of asteroids that exist within our own solar system. Long period comets, the ones that appear once in thousands of years, probably come from the Oort Cloud, a spherical cloud of small icy asteroids believed to exist at the farthest outer reaches of the solar system. Short period comets like Halley's probably come from the Kuiper Belt, a ring of asteroids just beyone Neptune's orbit. The minor planet Pluto is the most famous Kuiper object. Not all objects in the Oort Cloud and Kuiper Belt are comets; in fact most are not.
Where do asteroids and comets come from?
Asteroids are minor planets, especially those of the Inner Solar System. However, between the orbital paths of Mars and Jupiter lie a region known as the asteroid belt. Many asteroids come from there, but most of them stay there. Short-period comets originate from the Kuiper Belt, just outside the orbit of Neptune, while long-period comets are thought to originate in the Oort cloud.
Are asteroids surrounded by a hydrogen cloud?
i din't think so but sometimes comets are
Is a comet surrounded by a hydrogen cloud?
No. A comet is surrounded by various vaporized ices, but not hydrogen.

What are unchanged fragments from the early period of the planet building in the solar system?
Kuiper belt comets the moons of Mars asteroids Oort cloud comets all of the above Correct
Which celestial bodies orbit the Sun?
the asteroid belt, the kuiper belt, and the oort cloud.

Astronomers think that most comets come from?
They are from extreme outer parts of the solar system (known as "Kuiper belt") and from a huge cloud of comets lying far beyond the orbit of Pluto, completely surrounding the Sun (known as "Oort cloud").
How are comets asteroids and meteorites different?
Asteroids orbit the Sun between the orbits of the planet Mars and the planet Jupiter. Comets orbit the Sun on very elliptical orbits, originating from the Kuiper belt beyond the orbit of Neptune or the Oort cloud at the edges of the solar system. Comets are also usually (but not always) icy bodies that give of gas and dust (a tail) as they approach and get heated by the Sun. Meteorites are bodies that were Asteroids or Comets that have hit the planet Earth and landed on the surface.
How are the planets different from the solar system?
The planets and their moons are part of the solar system, along with the Sun, the asteroids, the comets, the Trans-Neptunian objects and the Oort cloud.
