Does the Oort cloud have rings?
No it does not. The Oort cloud is not a planet. It is a sphere of comets around our solar system.
Which have the most elliptical and tilted orbits?
Oort cloud comets
Area of solar system in which comets are located?
comets are on the outside of the solor system but loop in from the sun I believe from astronimical studies in 8th grade, (which my annoying science teacher practically crammed down my throat for a couple of months) there is a large belt of comets just past Pluto.
What is the cloud that surrounds the solar system?
The Oort cloud.However, technically the Oort cloud IS part of our Solar System.See related link for more information.
What kind of objects would scientist study to learn about the composition of the Oort cloud?
The Oort cloud is spherical cloud of or shell comets nearly a light-year from the Sun. Comets are disturbed from this cloud by gravitational attraction and other factors and pass into the area occupied by the inner planets (Earth for example). Scientists then can observe these transient bodies to determine the composition of material in the Oort cloud.
How were comets found?
Comets come from the Oort cloud and the Kupier Belt
What space objects come from the oort cloud?
Comets.
What celestial object come from a Oort cloud?
comets
What theory suggested that comets originate in the Oort cloud and then travel in long elliptical orbits around the Sun?
Jan Hendrik Oort suggested that comets come from the Oort Cloud. This is sometimes called the Oort Hypothesis.
Is Saturn part of the Oort cloud?
No. The Oort cloud is way beyond the orbit of Saturn. It's where many of the comets come from.
Are most comets found in either Oort cloud or the asteroid belt?
Rocky asteroids. Icy comets often live in and come from the Kuiper Belt.
Where do Comets with extremely elliptical orbits like comets Hyakutake and Hale-Bopp come from?
The Oort Cloud
The name of the cloud with frozen comets?
Oort (Yes - that is what it is called)
The oort cloud is the home of?
Comets.
Where in space are comets?
in the oort cloud
What originates on the Oort cloud?
Comets
Where are comets created?
Comets are created in the Oort cloud. The Oort cloud is a big circle of ice and dust surrounding our solar system.
