SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -The Oort Cloud is the most distant region of our solar system. Even the nearest objects in the Oort Cloud are thought to be many times farther from the Sun than the outer reaches of the Kuiper Belt.

Detailed explanation-2: -Based on their orbits, it is suggested they were once long-period comets that were captured by the gravity of a gas giant and sent into the inner solar system. Exploration: Because the Oort Cloud is so much farther out than the Kuiper Belt, the region remained unexplored and largely undocumented.

Detailed explanation-3: -What is It? The Oort Cloud lies far beyond Pluto and the most distant edges of the Kuiper Belt. While the planets of our solar system orbit in a flat plane, the Oort Cloud is believed to be a giant spherical shell surrounding the Sun, planets and Kuiper Belt Objects.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Kuiper belt is home to most of the objects that astronomers generally accept as dwarf planets: Orcus, Pluto, Haumea, Quaoar, and Makemake. Some of the Solar System’s moons, such as Neptune’s Triton and Saturn’s Phoebe, may have originated in the region.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Kuiper Belt is a collection of small, icy bodies that orbit the sun farther away than Neptune. It’s very similar to the asteroid belt, but colder and farther away from the sun.
