What is the name for the outer part of the solar system where comets can be found?
find out sombody pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
Where are comets found in solar system?
It has been suggested that comets originate in the Oort cloud and then travel in long elliptical orbits around the Sun.
How many comets does Saturn have?
Saturn has not been found to have any comets orbiting around it. Comets are typically found in the outer reaches of the solar system in regions such as the Kuiper Belt or the Oort Cloud, rather than around gas giant planets like Saturn.
Where are Comets usually found?
Comets can be formed anywhere in space. They are mainly composed of ice and dust, which can be acquired from anywhere in space i.e pieces of chipped planets or random space particle. Hope this was helpful x]
How do comets meteorites and asteroids differ?
Comets are icy bodies made of dust, rock, and frozen gases that orbit the Sun, meteorites are asteroid fragments that have entered Earth's atmosphere and landed on its surface, and asteroids are rocky bodies that orbit the Sun primarily in the asteroid belt located between Mars and Jupiter.
How were comets found?
Comets come from the Oort cloud and the Kupier Belt
Where do you find comets in the solar system?
comets can be found in the oort cloud to the south of Pluto
What is the name for the outer part of the solar system where comets can be found?

What is name for the portion of the outer solar system where comets can be found?
the oort cloud and the kuiper belt

It has been suggested that comets originate in the Oort cloud and then travel in long elliptical orbits around the Sun.
Where are the comets found?
It is believed that there is a large cloud of comets, called the Oort Cloud, orbiting the Sun at a relatively large distance. Now and then, one of them is budged by gravitational forces; as a result, they come closer to the Sun - where we are.
What are differences of comets meteoroid's asteroids?
Comets : mostly ice & are often in very distant elliptical orbits. Meteoroids and asteroids are usually rocky and/or metallic, asteroids are found in the asteroid belt (between Mars & Jupiter).

Does the Oort cloud have rings?
No, the Oort Cloud does not have rings. The Oort Cloud is a vast region of space beyond the outer planets in our solar system where comets are believed to originate from. It consists of icy objects and debris left over from the formation of the solar system, but does not have ring structures like those found around planets.
How do comets from the oort cloud differ from those found in the kuiper belt?
Comets are thought to have either originated from the Kuiper belt or the Oort cloud. The Oort cloud is much further out than the Kuiper belt, so comets with much longer periods are thought to originate from here, while shorter period comets are thought to mainly originate from the Kuiper belt. The Oort cloud extends as far out as 50,000 AU or nearly one light year from our sun - this is roughly where the boundary is for our solar systems gravitational influence. Passing stars and the gravitational effect of our galaxy are thought to dislodge objects from this hypothetical field of object, causing long term comets such as Halley's comet to enter into an eccentric orbit around our sun. The Kuiper belt, by contrast, extends from about 30 AU to 55AU. Generally speaking, the comets will be similar in composition, but those originating from the Oort cloud may have much longer periods and orbits.
