What is the name of the belt that is home to some comets?
the Kuiper Belt that is found beyond the orbit of Pluto
What is located beyond Neptune's orbit?
There are two regions in the solar system past Neptune, both of which contain icy planetoids. The inner area is called the "Kuiper Belt", and includes objects which are in relatively stable orbits around the Sun. Farther out, the "scattered disc" region is thought to be the origin of periodic comets, bodies which have been disturbed by Neptune's gravity and enter the inner solar system.
A rocky body orbiting the Sun but too small to be called a planet is called a?
To some extent it depends on where it is.If it's inside the orbit of Neptune, it's probably an asteroid (though it could be a centaur or a trojan if it's in certain very specific places).If it's outside the orbit of Neptune, the generic term is trans-Neptunian object or TNO. There are certain specific types of TNOs: plutinos, twotinos, cubewanos, Kuiper belt objects, and scattered disk objects, all depending on what kind of orbit they're in.
What do you call a disk of matter that circles a planet?
A disk of matter that circles a planet is called a "ring system." These rings are composed of rock, dust, and ice particles that orbit the planet in a flat plane. Examples include the rings of Saturn and the rings of Jupiter.
Where did the comets or Kuiper Belt Objects form?
Comets and Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs) primarily formed in the outer regions of the early solar system, beyond the orbit of Neptune. This region, known as the Kuiper Belt, is a disk-shaped area filled with icy bodies and debris that were leftover from the solar system's formation. These objects formed from the primordial material that failed to coalesce into larger planets, resulting in a diverse population of small icy bodies. Over time, some of these objects were perturbed into orbits that brought them closer to the Sun, where they became observable as comets.

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.)

Where can you get the Dark Orbit Extended Disk?
Germany or the UK
What is a core of rock and ice attracts gases?
A core of rock and ice that attracts gases is likely referring to a comet. Comets are celestial objects composed of rock, dust, ice, and frozen gases that orbit the Sun. When a comet's orbit brings it close to the Sun, the heat causes the ice to vaporize, releasing gases and creating a glowing coma and tail.

Do comets come from the asteroid belt?
Comets are believed to have two sources. Long-period comets (those which take more than 200 years to complete an orbit around the Sun) originate from the Oort Cloud. Short-period comets (those which take less than 200 years to complete an orbit around the Sun) originate from the Kuiper Belt. Danish astronomer Jan Oort proposed that comets reside in a huge cloud at the outer reaches of the solar system, far beyond the orbit of Pluto. This has come to be known as the Oort Cloud. Statistics imply that it may contain as many as a trillion comets and may account for a significant fraction of the mass of the solar system. However, since the individual comets are so small and so far away, we have no direct evidence about the actual existence of the Oort Cloud. The Kuiper Belt is a disk-shaped region past the orbit of Neptune roughly 30 to 100 AU from the Sun. The Belt contains many icy bodies which can become comets. Occasionally the orbit of a Kuiper Belt object will be disturbed by gravitational interactions with the giant planets in such a way as to cause the object to take up an orbit that crosses into the inner solar system. Although the Oort Cloud is much farther away from the Sun than the Kuiper Belt, it appears that the Oort Cloud objects were formed closer to the Sun than the Kuiper Belt objects. Small objects formed near the giant planets would have been ejected from the solar system by gravitational encounters. Those that didn't escape entirely formed the distant Oort Cloud. Small objects that formed farther out had no such interactions, and remained as the Kuiper Belt objects.

What is is the difference between the orbit of a comet and the orbit of a planet?
Well, darling, the main difference between the orbit of a comet and a planet is that comets have more eccentric orbits, swinging in from the cold depths of space with their tails wagging behind them like a mischievous puppy. Planets, on the other hand, follow more predictable, circular paths around the sun like responsible adults going about their business. So, in a nutshell, comets are the wild child of the solar system, while planets are the well-behaved siblings.
