every 5-10 years.
Rocky asteroids. Icy comets often live in and come from the Kuiper Belt.
Comets originate from the Oort cloud, a spherical shell of icy bodies at the outer edges of our solar system. These comets can be perturbed and sent into the inner solar system where they become visible as they approach the Sun.
They come from the outer reaches of space.
Most likely from Comets from the Ort cloud (actually comets may have been prevalent throughout the Solar System early on then relegated to the Ort cloud by the solar wind) smashing into earth during its development. But you can't discount Volcanic action either. TommyTrouble
Jan Hendrik Oort suggested that comets come from the Oort Cloud. This is sometimes called the Oort Hypothesis.

Comets come from the Oort cloud and the Kupier Belt
Comets.
Long period comets originate in the Oort Cloud.
yes
No. The Oort cloud is way beyond the orbit of Saturn. It's where many of the comets come from.
Comets come toward earth during their orbits. They are drawn toward the sun by gravity and sometimes cross earth's orbital path in the process.
