near the radius at which they orbit today
Comets have two main sources, the Oort Cloud or the Kuiper Belt
No one cares.
From my understanding, comets like to hang out way way past Pluto. Kind of like the asteroid belt. Some comets have 100 - 10,000 year orbit around our sun. But as for your question that's where the majority of the comets are.The above answer is right, partly. Comets are found just outside of the orbit of Pluto, in the Kuiper Belt. Another place is where beyond the Kuiper Belt though is the Oort Cloud. Hundreds upon thousands of comets are found in the Oort Cloud, which surrounds the Sun and all of the planets.Comets originate in the Kuiper Belt.
Some may have, but they have since migrated to orbits nearer the Sun.

The Kuiper belt is a ring-shaped region of ice objects that orbit the sun beyond the orbit of Neptune. It is home the the dwarf planets Pluto, Haumea, and Makemake and is the origin of most comets. Orion's belt is a set of three stars that appear to form the belt of the constellation Orion.

The singular form is comet, the plural form is comets, the possessive plural is comets'. Example: The comets' paths will not cross.
New planets are not forming in our solar system. When you get beyond Neptune, there is large grouping of stellar debris called the Kuiper Belt. The Kuiper Belt has enough material to become another planet, but it orbits around the sun too slowly for the material to combine. The planets formed by having asteroid-like rocks collide with one another, and the objects in the Kuiper Belt are spread out too far and don't have enough moment to form anything. There may be new planets forming around different stars. So far there have been around 800 stars found to have planets orbiting them, but there is no indication when those planets were formed. There may be new planets forming around different stars.
They are known as comets.

Because they do not have volatiles in them to form a coma as to comets.
