Are comets from other galaxies?
No, they are not. They come from regions of asteroids that exist within our own solar system. Long period comets, the ones that appear once in thousands of years, probably come from the Oort Cloud, a spherical cloud of small icy asteroids believed to exist at the farthest outer reaches of the solar system. Short period comets like Halley's probably come from the Kuiper Belt, a ring of asteroids just beyone Neptune's orbit. The minor planet Pluto is the most famous Kuiper object. Not all objects in the Oort Cloud and Kuiper Belt are comets; in fact most are not.

Located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, the Asteroid Belt consists of millions of individual asteroids of varying sizes - from a speck of dust to hundreds of kilometers in diameter. The largest object within the belt is a dwarf planet - Ceres - which has a mass of 9.47x1020kg and a diameter of 476.2km.
