Detailed explanation-1: -Both the Oort Cloud and the Kuiper Belt are thought to be sources of comets.
Detailed explanation-2: -Meteoroids are even found on the edge of the solar system, in regions called the Kuiper belt and the Oort cloud. Different meteoroids travel around the sun at different speeds and in different orbits. The fastest meteoroids travel through the solar system at a speed of around 42 kilometers (26 miles) per second.
Detailed explanation-3: -Most comets originate in the Oort cloud or in the Kuiper belt. Other bodies’ gravity can alter their orbits, causing them to pass close to the Sun. Short-period comets return in 200 years or less, others in thousands of years or not at all.
Detailed explanation-4: -Home of Long-Period Comets There may be hundreds of billions, even trillions, of icy bodies in the Oort Cloud. Now and then, something disturbs the orbit of one of these icy worlds, and it begins a long fall toward our Sun.
