Oort cloud comets are so far from the Sun that gravity of neighboring stars can alter their orbits?
True. We think; the Oort Cloud is a hypothesis, because so far we are unable to detect small dark objects so far from the Earth. We have never actually detected anything in the Oort Cloud. But long-period comets come from SOMEWHERE, and Jan Oort's idea of a "cloud" of primitive objects makes sense.

What if there was gravity in space?
If there was gravity in space, objects would be pulled towards each other, affecting their motion and orbits. This could lead to different interactions between celestial bodies and potentially alter the dynamics of the universe as we know it.
Is it possible to simulate earth gravity on the moon?
No. We cannot alter gravity.
Is it possible to alter or manipulate gravity in any way?
As of now, there is no known way to alter or manipulate gravity in a controlled manner. Gravity is a fundamental force of nature that is not easily manipulated by current technology or scientific understanding.
What would happen if the suns gravity was less?
If the Sun's gravity were to decrease, the orbits of the planets would become unstable. Earth and other planets could drift away from their current orbits, potentially leading to collisions or ejections from the solar system. Additionally, a weaker gravitational pull would affect the Sun's ability to hold onto its atmosphere, which could alter solar radiation and impact life on Earth. Overall, a reduction in the Sun's gravity could disrupt the entire balance of the solar system.
How do rocks or comets are cause to crash into moons surface?
Rocks or comets can crash into a moon's surface due to gravitational interactions with other objects in space, such as planets or larger moons, which can alter their trajectory. Additionally, factors such as the moon's gravitational pull and its lack of atmosphere to burn up incoming objects contribute to these collisions. Over time, these impacts can create craters and other surface features on the moon.
How did Newton alter Keplerʼs three laws?
He didn't alter them. He showed that his theory of planetary motion under gravity was consistent with them.
What causes a comet to tracel a long distance from the earth?
Comets travel long distances from Earth primarily due to their orbits, which are often highly elliptical and extend into the outer regions of the solar system. When a comet approaches the Sun, the heat causes its ices to sublimate, releasing gas and dust that form a glowing coma and tail, which can be influenced by solar radiation and solar wind. This interaction with the Sun's gravity and the forces acting on the comet's tail can alter its trajectory, allowing it to traverse vast distances. Additionally, some comets originate from the Kuiper Belt or the Oort Cloud, regions far beyond the orbit of Neptune, contributing to their long journeys.
Does ice float in boiling water?
Yes, boiling does not alter the specific gravity of liquid water.
What force holds the planets in orbit around the sun?
It's the force of gravity which acts on the planets and keeps them in their orbits. Gravity works both ways but the Sun is more massive by far so does not move very much at all. The planets are caused to accelerate towards the Sun by gravity. They move in their orbits with velocities, at any moment, at a tangent to their orbital paths. The result is that they move in a continuous curve around the Sun. If they move slightly closer they speed up, which causes them to move out again, so the orbits are stable. Potential energy and kinetic energy are being exchanged all the time for each planet but the total stays constant.
Over time the moon's gravity will drastically alter earth's?
The moon's gravitational force does influence Earth's tides and rotation, but it is not expected to drastically alter Earth in the future. The moon's orbit is stable and changes occur slowly over millions of years rather than in a drastic manner.
What are two factors that alter the oscillation period of a pendulum?
The length of the pendulum and the acceleration due to gravity are two factors that can alter the oscillation period of a pendulum. A longer pendulum will have a longer period, while a stronger gravitational force will result in a shorter period.
What is the effects of the suns gravity on the planets?
The sun's gravity has a number of effects on the planets. Primarily, the sun's gravity is what sets the orbits of the 9 planets. With one revolution around the sun equaling a solar year (365.25 days on earth). Planets closer to the sun orbit the sun at higher speeds due the sun's gravity being stronger at short distances (Gravity decreases exponentially as distance increases from an object) The sun's gravity also has major tidal effects on the planets. High and low tides cycles on earth are partially a function of differences in the sun's gravity on different portions of the earth. The sun's gravity pulls slightly more on the side of the earth facing the sun, causing fluids to bulge toward that side resulting in a high tide cycle. On Mercury, where the sun's gravity is much stronger, tidal forces are powerful enough to alter solid rock and effect the planets landscape.
