Short-period comets originate from the Kuiper Belt.
Comets can be classified into two main types: short-period comets, which have orbits of less than 200 years and originate from the Kuiper Belt; and long-period comets, which have orbits of more than 200 years and originate from the Oort Cloud. Additionally, there are also sungrazing comets, which pass extremely close to the Sun.
It has been suggested that comets originate in the Oort cloud and then travel in long elliptical orbits around the Sun.
Comets can be found throughout the solar system, but they typically originate from the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud, which are located beyond the orbit of Neptune. While comets can pass through the inner solar system and be visible near Venus and Mercury, they do not originate primarily from that region.
The Oort cloud.
Meteoroids primarily originate from two sources: asteroids and comets. Most meteoroids are fragments of asteroids, particularly from the asteroid belt located between Mars and Jupiter. Comets, when they approach the Sun, shed debris that can also become meteoroids. Additionally, some meteoroids can originate from the Moon or Mars, where impacts have ejected material into space.
Comets have two main sources, the Oort Cloud or the Kuiper Belt
Yes
True/yes
Long period comets originate in the Oort Cloud.
-- Despite where they come from, some comets have different mass qualities. While some are long-term comets, some are short-term. Short-term period comets originate in the Kuiper belt or it's "shattered disc", which is around the orbit of Neptune. Long-term period comets originate in Oort cloud, which is a cloud of icy bodies in space.
