Evidence suggests that what originated in the Oort cloud located beyond the orbit of Pluto?

Evidence suggests that comets, specifically long-period comets, originate in the Oort Cloud, a vast, spherical shell of icy bodies located beyond the orbit of Pluto. This region is believed to contain trillions of objects that can be disturbed by gravitational interactions, sending some of them into the inner solar system where they become visible as comets. The Oort Cloud serves as a reservoir for these ancient, icy bodies, which are remnants from the early solar system.


What is the name for the outer part of the solar system where comets can be found?

find out sombody pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.


What is the comet belt outside of Pluto's orbit called?

There are some comets near Pluto, amongst the bodies in the "Kuiper Belt". However, I think the answer to this question is the "Oort cloud" of comets, far beyond the orbit of Pluto.


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.


What is the name of the cloud with frozen comets that is by Pluto?

The cloud of frozen comets that surrounds Pluto is called the Kuiper Belt.

What large group of comets surrounds the solar system beyond Pluto?

This is the Kuiper Belt. It is located just beyond Pluto. There is also the Oort Cloud that surrounds the whole solar system.

Large group of comets beyond Pluto's orbit?

The Kuiper Belt, a theorized area far beyond Neptune. There are actually two "shells" of debris around the Solar System. The Kuiper Belt is beyond Neptune, and the Oort Cloud is believed to be beyond that.

Area of solar system in which comets are located?

comets are on the outside of the solor system but loop in from the sun I believe from astronimical studies in 8th grade, (which my annoying science teacher practically crammed down my throat for a couple of months) there is a large belt of comets just past Pluto.


What is the sparse sphere of comets that surrounds the sun and planets?

The sparse sphere of comets that surrounds the sun and planets is known as the Oort Cloud. It is a vast region of space that is thought to contain billions of icy objects and comets. The Oort Cloud is located far beyond the orbit of Pluto, extending up to about 1.6 light years from the sun.


The Oort Cloud is believed to be?

The Oort Cloud is believed to be a vast spherical region of icy debris extending far beyond the orbits of Neptune and Pluto. It is thought to be the source of long-period comets that occasionally enter the inner solar system.


What was after Pluto?

Pluto, now no longer considered a planet, is part of a collection of icy objects called the Kuiper Belt, which orbit the sun beyond Neptune. Beyond the Kuiper belt are a few object scattered into extremely large orbits. The most notable of these is an object called Sedna. Beyond Sedna there may be an even larger collection of icy objects called the Oort Cloud.


Is the Oort cloud real?

Yes, the Oort Cloud is a theoretical region of space that is believed to be the source of long-period comets. It is thought to be a vast shell of icy objects surrounding the solar system, located far beyond the orbit of Pluto. Its existence has not been directly observed, but it is supported by the orbits of comets that are believed to originate from it.
