That is defined by the outer limit of the orbit of the Oort Cloud which is believed to be roughly spherical. The inner limits of the Oort Cloud begin at about 2,000 AU from the Sun. The cloud itself stretches out almost a quarter of the way to the nearest star, Proxima Centauri which is 4.3 light-years from the Sun. (Radius therefore = 1.075 Light years).
Thus you have a choice of calculating the surface area of the Oort Cloud's sphere. A = 4 π r 2
Or the area of the plane of the solar system where it intersects that sphere. A= ¼ • π • d²

The area of the solar system in which comets are locates?
The Oort Cloud is the answer.
What are the measurements of the solar system?
The solar system or heliosheath (the point at which the Solar wind has no influence) is generally regarded to be between 10 & 14 AU (1 AU = 93,000,000 miles). This should be defined more accurately as the Voyager space probes travel into this area. As at June 2010 Voyager 1 encountered an area where the solar wind slowed to zero. This could be defined as the boundary of the Solar system (about 10.6 Billion miles away)
Is there a mini solar system or binary star system in our solar system?
No. There is one star in our solar system, and no other solar systems within it.
Where can you find the solar system?
What exoplanets are in our solar system?
There are no exoplanets in our solar system. By definition, an exoplanet is a planet that is not in our solar system.
Where in our solar system does Pluto live?
Pluto is a dwarf planet that can be found on the outermost area of our solar system, the farthest away from the Sun.
The area of the solar system in which comets are locates?
The Oort Cloud is the answer.
