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.
Dose Oort clouds have moons?
Objects in the Oort cloud have never actually been observed; they are more theoretical that actual at this point. The problem is that they are so far away - hundreds or thousands of AU away - that they are invisible in our current telescopes. This will probably change as telescopes of greater and greater power are developed. That said, there is no reason why an Oort Cloud object of sufficient size should not have moons. Asteroids have moons; Pluto has three moons. It's just that we haven't seen them yet.
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)
Does the Oort cloud have rings?
No it does not. The Oort cloud is not a planet. It is a sphere of comets around our solar system.
What part of the Oort cloud is the atmosphere?
No part of the atmosphere of any planet is any part of the Oort cloud.
Is a oort cloud created by solar wind?
No. The Oort Cloud is "leftover" mass from the formation of the Sun and the planets.
Solar system what is the definition?
The Sun, and anything that orbits around the Sun, being gravitationally bound to it. This includes planets, planetoids, moons, interplanetery dust and gas, the Oort cloud, and probably a few other things more.The Sun, and anything that orbits around the Sun, being gravitationally bound to it.
