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 hypothetical sphere around the solar system?
Oort cloud
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.
Is earth part of the oort cloud?
No. Earth is part of the inner solar system. The Oort cloud, if it exists, lies beyond the orbits of all the planets.
Is the oort cloud bigger than the earth?
The oort cloud is unimaginably larger than the earth in spacial dimensions. Interestingly, it is comprised of materials that equal only about the mass of 5 earths.

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)
How often do comets from the oort cloud come to earth?
every 5-10 years.
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 kind of objects would scientist study to learn about the composition of the Oort cloud?
The Oort cloud is spherical cloud of or shell comets nearly a light-year from the Sun. Comets are disturbed from this cloud by gravitational attraction and other factors and pass into the area occupied by the inner planets (Earth for example). Scientists then can observe these transient bodies to determine the composition of material in the Oort cloud.
Oort cloud comets are so far from the Sun that gravity of neighboring stars can alter their orbits?
True. We think; the Oort Cloud is a hypothesis, because so far we are unable to detect small dark objects so far from the Earth. We have never actually detected anything in the Oort Cloud. But long-period comets come from SOMEWHERE, and Jan Oort's idea of a "cloud" of primitive objects makes sense.
