What else can I help you with?
What region are comets located in?
In outer space.
What do you call the region of the solar system which is home to long period comets?
Long period comets are thought to reside mainly in the Oort Cloud.
The kuiper belt made up of asteroids and comets starts at the orbit of what tilted blue- green gas giant?
The Kuiper Belt begins beyond the orbit of Neptune, which is a blue-green ice giant. The Kuiper Belt is a region in the outer solar system that is home to numerous icy bodies, including asteroids and comets.
Are comets part of the of the asteroid belt?
No. Comets come from beyond the asteroid belt, mostly from a region called the Kuiper Belt, beyond the orbit of Neptune.
The number of comets in the Oort cloud is probably about?
It is estimated that there are billions or even trillions of comets in the Oort Cloud. These comets are believed to be remnants from the early solar system and are located in a distant region surrounding our solar system.
What is the region in the Solar System considered to be the source on long-period comets?
The Oort Cloud.
Where do short-period comets originate?
Short-period comets originate from the Kuiper Belt, a region beyond Neptune filled with icy debris, or from the scattered disk, which is a distant region beyond the Kuiper Belt. These comets have orbits that last less than 200 years and are affected by the gravity of the outer planets.
In what region are most comets at?
We generally believe that comets with orbits of 200 years or less, traveling in the ecliptic plane, come from the Kuiper Belt. Those comets with longer orbits, or that travel at angles to the ecliptic plane, come from the Oort Cloud.
What is the name of the belt that is home to some comets?
the Kuiper Belt that is found beyond the orbit of Pluto
What is the region of DNA where RNA synthesis begins called?
The region of DNA where RNA synthesis begins is the promoter. DNA contains a number of upstream regulatory and promoter sequences but the region of DNA where RNA synthesis begins is the start codon. This is the first codon that translates into an RNA nucleotide.
What region in Central Asia begins with T?
Taiwan
What is a spherical region of comets on the outer edges surrounding the solar system?
The spherical region of comets on the outer edges of the solar system is known as the Oort Cloud. It is believed to be a vast, hypothetical cloud of icy bodies that extends far beyond the orbit of Pluto, serving as a source for long-period comets. The Oort Cloud is thought to contain trillions of comets, which are remnants from the early solar system. Its exact boundaries and composition remain largely theoretical, as it has not been directly observed.
