Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -It is thought to surround the entire Solar Solar System. The Oort Cloud is about 2 light years away from Earth. This means it takes light-travelling at 300, 000 kilometres every second-2 years to reach Earth from the Oort cloud! The Oort Cloud is sometimes used to mark the edge of our Solar System.
