Question
- what kind of comets originate from interstellar space? long - period comets short - period comets hyperbolic comets
Brief Explanations
Long-period comets have orbital periods over 200 years and are thought to originate from the Oort Cloud, a spherical cloud of icy bodies surrounding the solar system at interstellar distances. Short-period comets come from the Kuiper Belt (within the solar system), and hyperbolic comets are a trajectory type, not an origin category.
