Closest because the comets get brighter as it gets closer to the sun. Comets don't produce light for they are made of ice dust and rock

When did Comet Crash happen?

The current belief of virtually all astronomers is that comets were "specks" of leftover detritus from the formation of our solar system. Being the lightest of those "specks", they orbit the sun at the farthest distance - the Oort cloud, estimated to be about a light year from our sun. Note, though, that in this usage, "speck" means a ball of dirt laced with ices that's about 3 to 10 kilometers wide.


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.
