Comets primarily originate from two regions of the solar system: the Kuiper Belt and the Oort Cloud. The Kuiper Belt is a disc-shaped region beyond Neptune, containing many icy bodies, while the Oort Cloud is a hypothetical, spherical shell of icy objects that surrounds the solar system at a much greater distance. When gravitational perturbations occur, these icy bodies can be nudged inward, leading to their appearance as comets.
What else can I help you with?
How do you get comets?
they come from the left over matter from when that solar system was first made
What celestial object come from a Oort cloud?
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.
Where do asteroids and comets come from?
Asteroids are minor planets, especially those of the Inner Solar System. However, between the orbital paths of Mars and Jupiter lie a region known as the asteroid belt. Many asteroids come from there, but most of them stay there. Short-period comets originate from the Kuiper Belt, just outside the orbit of Neptune, while long-period comets are thought to originate in the Oort cloud.
Are asteroids and comets left over debris from the formation of the solar system?
Yes, asteroids and comets are considered leftover debris from the formation of the solar system, which occurred about 4.6 billion years ago. Asteroids primarily originate from the inner solar system and are remnants of planetesimals that never coalesced into planets, while comets come from the outer solar system, often from the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud. Both provide valuable insights into the conditions and materials present during the early solar system's development.
How close do comet to the earth?
Comets have their own orbits in our solar system around the sun. They don't come close to the earth.
What force makes comets come into your solar system?
Gravity.
do comets come from a black hole?
No. Comets are made from the leftover material when a solar system forms.
Do comets come from inner realms of the solar system?
No. They form in the outer solar system where it is cold enough.
Is Halley's comet part of our solar system?
Yes. The solar system is everything that orbits the sun.

Why is there a ring of ice and dust around your solar system?
that is called the Oort cloud and that's where comets come from.

Why do comets come here from oort cloud?
Comets originate from the Oort Cloud, a vast, spherical region of icy bodies surrounding the solar system. They are nudged into the inner solar system by gravitational interactions with nearby stars or molecular clouds. As they approach the Sun, the heat causes their ices to vaporize, creating the characteristic glowing coma and tail. This process makes them visible from Earth and allows us to study these ancient remnants of the solar system's formation.
How close do comet to the earth?
Comets have their own orbits in our solar system around the sun. They don't come close to the earth.
Are comets from other galaxies?
No, they are not. They come from regions of asteroids that exist within our own solar system. Long period comets, the ones that appear once in thousands of years, probably come from the Oort Cloud, a spherical cloud of small icy asteroids believed to exist at the farthest outer reaches of the solar system. Short period comets like Halley's probably come from the Kuiper Belt, a ring of asteroids just beyone Neptune's orbit. The minor planet Pluto is the most famous Kuiper object. Not all objects in the Oort Cloud and Kuiper Belt are comets; in fact most are not.
