Most of them are moving slowly out beyond the orbit of Neptune, in the kuiper belt. Longer term comets are thought to also be as far out as the Oort cloud.
It is called "The Oort Cloud"
Comets can be located anywhere, but the further you get away from the sun, the more common they are (they are made up of ice and cold rock).
The Oort Cloud is the answer.
Comets are thought to originate from two main regions in the solar system: the Kuiper Belt, located beyond Neptune, and the Oort Cloud, which is much farther out. Comets are made of ice, rock, and organic compounds, and they develop tails when they come close to the sun and start to vaporize.
Comets can be formed anywhere in space. They are mainly composed of ice and dust, which can be acquired from anywhere in space i.e pieces of chipped planets or random space particle. Hope this was helpful x]
comets are on the outside of the solor system but loop in from the sun I believe from astronimical studies in 8th grade, (which my annoying science teacher practically crammed down my throat for a couple of months) there is a large belt of comets just past Pluto.
well most stars have solar systems, if they are large enough they would have a larger gravitational pull causing other planets to come in its "area" which would basically create a solar system.
There are two regions in the solar system past Neptune, both of which contain icy planetoids. The inner area is called the "Kuiper Belt", and includes objects which are in relatively stable orbits around the Sun. Farther out, the "scattered disc" region is thought to be the origin of periodic comets, bodies which have been disturbed by Neptune's gravity and enter the inner solar system.
Olympus Mons is the largest valcano in the solar system. it is located on Mars
Comets are constantly entering and leaving the inner solar system. However, scientists have theorized that many comets are gathered in a wide area far beyond the planets of the solar system, in a location called the Oort Cloud (for Danish astronomer Jan Hendrik Oort). According to this theory, a huge spherical region surrounds the solar system at a distance of up to 1 light year (50,000 AU) from the Sun. Tiny gravitational effects of the Sun and planets (or even other stars) would pull comets from the region on an irregular but continual basis. Once comets passed the orbit of Neptune, some would be trapped by gravity and continue to orbit the Sun, with periods of from a few years to several hundred years, until they were either ejected, evaporated, or collided with a larger body. Cometary collisions are one possible source for the water on the early Earth.
The Goldylocks area of our solar system includes Earth. Venus and Mercury are too hot. Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus are too cold.
A comet's orbit is typically more elongated and eccentric compared to a planet's orbit, which is generally more circular and stable. While planets orbit the sun in a relatively flat plane, comets can have highly inclined orbits that take them far from the solar system before returning close to the sun. This difference in orbit shapes results in comets spending most of their time in the outer regions of the solar system, while planets remain within a more confined area. Additionally, comets often exhibit a tail when they approach the sun due to the sublimation of their icy components.
