What else can I help you with?
Where do comets form?
Comets have two main sources, the Oort Cloud or the Kuiper Belt
Is Sedna a oort cloud?
Sedna is not located in the Oort Cloud. It is a trans-Neptunian object with a highly elliptical orbit that takes it far from the Sun, but it does not reach the distant reaches of the Oort Cloud.
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.
Where is a comet located?
Comets are believed to have originated from asteroids in a sort of 'cloud', called the 'Oort Cloud'. It is thought all comets come from the Oort Cloud, which is a cloud of asteroids beyond the Kuiper Belt beyond Neptune. When one asteroid is knocked off from its orbit from the Oort Cloud, it makes really long trips around the Sun, which is why it becomes a comet. All of the asteroids in the Oort Cloud have some type of ice on them, since they are so far away from the sun that everything in the Oort Cloud seems to freeze.
Is there a hole in the oort cloud when nibiru passes through it?
There is no scientific evidence to support the claim of a planet-sized object like "Nibiru" passing through the Oort Cloud. The Oort Cloud is a theoretical region of space beyond the planets, containing icy bodies, comets, and debris. It is highly unlikely that such an event would create a hole in the Oort Cloud.
Spherical region of comets surronding the solar system-what is it called?
The outer Oort cloud. (The inner Oort cloud is believed to be disk-shaped.)
What is the cloud that surrounds the solar system?
The Oort Cloud is a region of space surrounding our solar system that is believed to contain trillions of icy objects, such as comets, extending out to about 1 light year from the Sun. It is thought to be the source of long-period comets that occasionally enter the inner solar system.
A spherical cloud of small icy fragments at the farthest reaches of the Sun's gravitational influence?
This icy cloud is known as the Oort Cloud and is located about 1 to 3 light-years away from the Sun. It is believed to be the source of long-period comets that occasionally enter the inner solar system. The Oort Cloud is a remnant of the early solar system and holds valuable clues about its formation.

Is Sedna a oort cloud?
Sedna is not located in the Oort Cloud. It is a trans-Neptunian object with a highly elliptical orbit that takes it far from the Sun, but it does not reach the distant reaches of the Oort Cloud.
Is a oort cloud created by solar wind?
No. The Oort Cloud is "leftover" mass from the formation of the Sun and the planets.
What part of the Oort cloud is the atmosphere?
No part of the atmosphere of any planet is any part of the Oort cloud.
What color is an Oort cloud?
The Oort cloud is a region of space surrounding the solar system that is composed of icy objects. It does not emit light itself, so it does not have a specific color.

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.
Is there any gravity on the oort cloud?
Any object will attract any other object - the comets of the Oort Cloud will attract each other and other objects; also, the gravity of the Sun will still be active at the Oort Cloud.
