Comets have two main sources, the Oort Cloud or the Kuiper Belt
Comets have two main sources, the Oort Cloud or the Kuiper Belt
I scientifically believe that comets are closer to the outer part of the solar system.
The Oort Cloud of comets.
Yes.
Yes. The solar system is everything that orbits the sun.
No. Comets come from beyond the asteroid belt, mostly from a region called the Kuiper Belt, beyond the orbit of Neptune.
It is the source of some large objects, including the dwarf planet Pluto, but many small objects that are part of the elements left over from making the main objects in the solar system. It had been thought at one time that a lot of comets came from it, but that is not thought to be the case now. Some short period comets do come from this region. So, the expected answer is probably "comets".
Comets can be classified into two main types: short-period comets, which have orbits of less than 200 years and originate from the Kuiper Belt; and long-period comets, which have orbits of more than 200 years and originate from the Oort Cloud. Additionally, there are also sungrazing comets, which pass extremely close to the Sun.
The singular form is comet, the plural form is comets, the possessive plural is comets'. Example: The comets' paths will not cross.
Comets are Comets and Asteroids are Asteroids
