Where are comets in the solar system?

Answer 1

From my understanding, comets like to hang out way way past Pluto. Kind of like the asteroid belt. Some comets have 100 - 10,000 year orbit around our sun. But as for your question that's where the majority of the comets are.

The above answer is right, partly. Comets are found just outside of the orbit of Pluto, in the Kuiper Belt. Another place is where beyond the Kuiper Belt though is the Oort Cloud. Hundreds upon thousands of comets are found in the Oort Cloud, which surrounds the Sun and all of the planets.
Comets originate in the Kuiper Belt.

Answer 2

Think of a comet as a big, dirty, gassy snowball. Comets are formed in the ring of rocks, dust, and ice that orbits the

Sun

beyond

Pluto

called the

Kuiper Belt. Comets form when rocks, dust, and ice

condense

– that is, join together. As a comet grows larger, it starts to be pulled towards and around the Sun. Comets in our Solar System usually take many years to go around the Sun – from a few dozen years to many thousands of years. This is because they start to orbit the sun from very far away. They make long, egg-shaped orbits around the Sun instead of almost circular ones like the planets. So the Answer is....... yes

Answer 3

Short-period comets (those that have orbital periods of less than 200 years) originate in the Kuiper belt, beyond the orbit of Neptune. Long-period comets (those with orbits longer than 200 years) are thought to originate in the Oort cloud, a cloud of icy bodies from beyond the Kuiper belt.

Answer 4

Comets can be found throughout the solar system. They originate in the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud, which are regions beyond Neptune. When comets are pulled into the inner solar system by gravitational forces, they can be observed as they orbit the Sun.

Answer 5

anywhere in space
