The theory of the Oort Cloud's existance is a theory as it is unable to be visually proven to exist through the use of modern telescopes, however the reason it is thought to be there is that it is the origin of long-period comets.]]> 2018-03-26 03:53:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jake5150/8tpar39ai6vz/wish/245935458 jake5150 https://padlet.com/jake5150/8tpar39ai6vz/wish/245936753 2018-03-26 04:02:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jake5150/8tpar39ai6vz/wish/245936753 jake5150 https://padlet.com/jake5150/8tpar39ai6vz/wish/245936862 The composition of the Oort Cloud is made up of icy bodies such as comets and astroids ]]> 2018-03-26 04:04:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jake5150/8tpar39ai6vz/wish/245936862 jake5150 https://padlet.com/jake5150/8tpar39ai6vz/wish/245937120 The comets and astroids in the Oort Cloud are made up of what formed the planets during the creation of the solar system - mainly ammonia, ice, and methane ]]> 2018-03-26 04:06:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jake5150/8tpar39ai6vz/wish/245937120 jake5150 https://padlet.com/jake5150/8tpar39ai6vz/wish/245937691 Extending far out beyond the Keiper Belt the Oort Cloud begins at a distance of around 2000 AU from the sun and extends out about one third of the way to Alpha Centari - between 5000 and 100,000 AU.]]> 2018-03-26 04:12:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jake5150/8tpar39ai6vz/wish/245937691 jake5150 https://padlet.com/jake5150/8tpar39ai6vz/wish/245938491 Put into persepective that the Voyager 1 spacecraft is moving at a speed of roughly a million miles a day, it would take nearly 30,000 years to cross.]]> 2018-03-26 04:19:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jake5150/8tpar39ai6vz/wish/245938491 jake5150 https://padlet.com/jake5150/8tpar39ai6vz/wish/245940055 It is thought that there are between billions and trillions of objects in the Oort Cloud that in total are equal to about 1.9 earth masses.]]> 2018-03-26 04:33:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jake5150/8tpar39ai6vz/wish/245940055 jake5150 https://padlet.com/jake5150/8tpar39ai6vz/wish/245941085 2018-03-26 04:43:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jake5150/8tpar39ai6vz/wish/245941085 jake5150 https://padlet.com/jake5150/8tpar39ai6vz/wish/245941749 The Oort Cloud is thought to be the origin of a type of comet known as long-period comets, which take more than 200 years to orbit around the sun.]]> 2018-03-26 04:49:26 UTC https://padlet.com/jake5150/8tpar39ai6vz/wish/245941749 jake5150 https://padlet.com/jake5150/8tpar39ai6vz/wish/245942222 The large majority of objects will remain in the Oort Cloud forever, orbiting the sun in periods of thousands, even millions of year orbits.]]> 2018-03-26 04:54:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jake5150/8tpar39ai6vz/wish/245942222 jake5150 https://padlet.com/jake5150/8tpar39ai6vz/wish/245943504 There are two believed parts of the Oort Cloud.
