Where does the asteroid belt sit in the solar system?
Between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Also there's the Kuiper Belt after Neptune, and the scattered disk. After that, farther away than Sedna, is the Oort Cloud.
Where did the asteroid 'chicxulub' come from?
Nobody really knows. Two potential sources are the Asteroid Belt, a region between Mars and Jupiter, and the Oort Cloud, a region beyond Pluto. See links below.
Does most comets have a circular orbit that keeps them in the space between mars and Jupiter?
No, most comets do not have a circular orbit in the space between Mars and Jupiter. The majority of comets originate from two regions in our solar system: the Kuiper Belt and the Oort Cloud. These regions are far beyond Mars and Jupiter, and the comets from these regions follow highly elliptical orbits that can take them close to the sun or far into the outer reaches of the solar system.
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").
What is the relationship between the Oort cloud and comets?
Long period comets (orbits of more than 200 years) are thought to have originated in the Oort cloud.

What is the composition of solar system?
The Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Asteroid Belt, Kuiper Belt, and Oort Cloud.

A spherical cloud of small icy fragments at the farthest reaches of the Sun's gravitational influence?
That is the Oort Cloud.That is the Oort Cloud.That is the Oort Cloud.That is the Oort Cloud.
What color is an Oort cloud?
the oort cloud is mostly black
What is the cloud that surrounds the solar system?
The Oort cloud.However, technically the Oort cloud IS part of our Solar System.See related link for more information.
What is the relationship between the Oort cloud and comets?
Long period comets (orbits of more than 200 years) are thought to have originated in the Oort cloud.
Spherical region of comets surronding the solar system-what is it called?
The outer Oort cloud. (The inner Oort cloud is believed to be disk-shaped.)
What is the hypothetical sphere around the solar system?
Oort cloud
The name of the cloud with frozen comets?
Oort (Yes - that is what it is called)
