The Oort Cloud is an immense spherical shell surrounding our solar system. It is like a big, thick-walled bubble made of icy pieces of space debris the size of mountains and sometimes larger. The Oort Cloud might contain billions, or even trillions, of objects.
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 entire solar system. It is like a bubble with a thick wall. The Oort Cloud is so far from the Sun that it remains largely a mystery, but it is thought to be the source of most long-period comets that visit the inner solar system.
