The current belief of virtually all astronomers is that comets were "specks" of leftover detritus from the formation of our solar system. Being the lightest of those "specks", they orbit the sun at the farthest distance - the Oort cloud, estimated to be about a light year from our sun. Note, though, that in this usage, "speck" means a ball of dirt laced with ices that's about 3 to 10 kilometers wide.
