What else can I help you with?
Where do comets form?
Comets have two main sources, the Oort Cloud or the Kuiper Belt
What is the name of the belt that is home to some comets?
the Kuiper Belt that is found beyond the orbit of Pluto
Comets with short orbital period are located in what region?
Comets with short orbital periods are typically located in the inner solar system, closer to the Sun. These comets may have originated in the Kuiper Belt or the scattered disc and have been deflected into shorter, more frequent orbits due to gravitational interactions with the outer planets.
What can you find in the Kuiper Belt?
Minor planets, comets, asteroids, and dust.
Where do short-period comets originate?
Short-period comets originate from the Kuiper Belt, a region beyond Neptune filled with icy debris, or from the scattered disk, which is a distant region beyond the Kuiper Belt. These comets have orbits that last less than 200 years and are affected by the gravity of the outer planets.
What is the donut-shaped region of comets the begins near Neptune's orbit?
the KUIPER BELT

Are comets part of the of the asteroid belt?
No. Comets come from beyond the asteroid belt, mostly from a region called the Kuiper Belt, beyond the orbit of Neptune.

Short-period comets originate from the Kuiper Belt, a region beyond Neptune filled with icy debris, or from the scattered disk, which is a distant region beyond the Kuiper Belt. These comets have orbits that last less than 200 years and are affected by the gravity of the outer planets.
Are most comets found in either Oort cloud or the asteroid belt?
Rocky asteroids. Icy comets often live in and come from the Kuiper Belt.
The kuiper belt made up of asteroids and comets starts at the orbit of what tilted blue- green gas giant?
The Kuiper Belt begins beyond the orbit of Neptune, which is a blue-green ice giant. The Kuiper Belt is a region in the outer solar system that is home to numerous icy bodies, including asteroids and comets.
Does kuiper belt mean comet?
No. The belt is a region of the outer solar system similar to the asteroid belt where millions of comets orbit.
Short period comets that originate beyond the orbit of Neptune but are generally moving level with the orbits of the other planets are in the what?
Short period comets that originate beyond the orbit of Neptune but are generally moving level with the orbits of the other planets are in the Kuiper Belt. The Kuiper Belt is a region of the outer solar system that contains icy bodies, including comets, that orbit the Sun beyond Neptune.
