Question

question: 19
small, icy bodies that have highly eccentric orbits and can be found in the oort cloud or the kuiper belt a

o a meteors

o 8 comets

o c asteroids

o d. meteorites

Explanation:

• Meteors: These are streaks of light in the sky caused by meteoroids (small space rocks) burning up in Earth's atmosphere. They are not small, icy bodies with highly eccentric orbits found in the Oort cloud or Kuiper belt.
• Comets: Comets are small, icy bodies. They have highly eccentric orbits. The Oort cloud is considered the source of long - period comets, and the Kuiper belt is associated with short - period comets.
• Asteroids: Asteroids are mostly rocky bodies. They are mainly found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, not typically in the Oort cloud or Kuiper belt (though there are some trans - Neptunian objects which are a different class).
• Meteorites: These are meteoroids that have survived passing through the atmosphere and landed on Earth. They are not related to the Oort cloud or Kuiper belt in terms of their origin as described in the question.

Answer:

B. comets
