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.
