The Oort Cloud is named after Dutch astronomer Jan Oort, who proposed its existence in 1950.
2 answers
Jan Hendrik Oort suggested that comets come from the Oort Cloud. This is sometimes called the Oort Hypothesis.
1 answer
The comets come from the Oort Cloud named after Jan Oort who suggested in 1950 that they originated from a common location in the Solar System.
1 answer
The correct spelling is the Oort Cloud of comets that is proposed to lie at the fringe of the solar system. It is named for Dutch astronomer Jan Oort (1900-1992).
1 answer
True. We think; the Oort Cloud is a hypothesis, because so far we are unable to detect small dark objects so far from the Earth. We have never actually detected anything in the Oort Cloud. But long-period comets come from SOMEWHERE, and Jan Oort's idea of a "cloud" of primitive objects makes sense.
1 answer
The dust cloud theory was first proposed by astronomers Fred Whipple and Jan Oort in the 1950s. They suggested that comets originate from a cloud of icy bodies located at the outer reaches of the solar system, now known as the Oort Cloud.

The Oort Cloud is a region of space surrounding our solar system that is believed to contain trillions of icy objects, such as comets, extending out to about 1 light year from the Sun. It is thought to be the source of long-period comets that occasionally enter the inner solar system.

This icy cloud is known as the Oort Cloud and is located about 1 to 3 light-years away from the Sun. It is believed to be the source of long-period comets that occasionally enter the inner solar system. The Oort Cloud is a remnant of the early solar system and holds valuable clues about its formation.

Sedna is not located in the Oort Cloud. It is a trans-Neptunian object with a highly elliptical orbit that takes it far from the Sun, but it does not reach the distant reaches of the Oort Cloud.

No. The Oort Cloud is "leftover" mass from the formation of the Sun and the planets.
1 answer
No part of the atmosphere of any planet
is any part of the Oort cloud.
1 answer
The Oort cloud is a region of space surrounding the solar system that is composed of icy objects. It does not emit light itself, so it does not have a specific color.

A dutch astronomer called Jan Hendrik Oort in 1950.
However, the idea was first speculated in 1932 by an Estonian astronomer called Ernst Öpik.

No.
The Oort cloud is way beyond the orbit of Saturn. It's where many of the comets come from.

Any object will attract any other object - the comets of the Oort Cloud will attract each other and other objects; also, the gravity of the Sun will still be active at the Oort Cloud.

Comets are created in the Oort cloud. The Oort cloud is a big circle of ice and dust surrounding our solar system.
1 answer
The Oort cloud is a theoretical and incredibly vast mass of comets that are believed to orbit the sun at great distances.
1 answer
No. Oh, there are probably a great number of things in the Oort Cloud that we would think of as "asteroids", if they weren't so VERY far away from the Sun.
The Danish astronomer Jan Oort observed that even though a comet is partially vaporized every time it gets close to the Sun and begins to develop a tail, we still have comets even after 4.5 BILLION years. Oort theorized that since no comet could have survived 4.5 billion years of coming by the Sun every few hundred (or even every few thousand) years, there must be some distant reservoir of comet-like material orbiting very far from the Sun. Occasionally, something like a gravitational interaction with something else might cause one of these frozen comet-like objects to fall into the inner solar system and actually become a comet.
The "Oort Cloud" is only a theory; our telescopes are nowhere NEAR powerful enough to see any solid object a half a light-year away from the Sun. It's a theory that makes sense, but other than the fact that we still see comets even today, there is no actual EVIDENCE that the Oort Cloud exists with the characteristics that Oort postulated for it.
But if the Oort Cloud exists, then the things that come from the Oort Cloud are comets, not asteroids.

The Oort cloud is generally much further out than the Kuiper belt, so Oort cloud objects will generally take a lot longer to orbit our sun.
1 answer
The Oort Cloud is important because it is a theoretical region in space that is believed to contain trillions of icy objects left over from the formation of the solar system. These objects provide insight into the early history of our solar system and help scientists study how planets and other celestial bodies formed. Additionally, some comets originate from the Oort Cloud and can be seen passing through our solar system, providing valuable information about the composition of these distant icy bodies.

No. No person has ever gone farther than the moon. The Oort cloud is not even confirmed to exist.
1 answer
There is no scientific evidence to support the claim of a planet-sized object like "Nibiru" passing through the Oort Cloud. The Oort Cloud is a theoretical region of space beyond the planets, containing icy bodies, comets, and debris. It is highly unlikely that such an event would create a hole in the Oort Cloud.

The hypothetical sphere around the solar system is known as the Oort Cloud. It is a region of space theorized to contain icy objects and comets that extends far beyond the orbit of Pluto. The Oort Cloud is thought to be the source of long-period comets that occasionally enter the inner solar system.

I'm not too sure there was a comet named after a Dutch Astronomer.
In all likelihood, the best Dutch Astronomer associated with comets was Dr. Jan Hendrik Oort who the Oort cloud of comets bears his name.

No. Earth is part of the inner solar system. The Oort cloud, if it exists, lies beyond the orbits of all the planets.
1 answer
Long period comets (orbits of more than 200 years) are thought to have originated in the Oort cloud.
1 answer
The Oort Cloud has not been directly observed by astronomers, while both the Main Asteroid Belt and the Kuiper Belt have been observed and studied. The Oort Cloud is a theoretical region of icy bodies beyond the Kuiper Belt, and its presence is inferred from the trajectories of some comets.
