Question 10 • AZ-Earth and Space Science A

Where is the Oort cloud located?

Answer
A
between the orbit of Mars and the orbit of Jupiter
B
in the different orbits between the sun and Neptune
C
beyond the Kuiper belt, at the farthest end of the solar system
D
all over the solar system and between the orbits of the planets

Explanation

The Oort cloud is a distant, roughly spherical region of icy objects surrounding the solar system. It lies far beyond the Kuiper belt, at the solar system’s outermost reaches, so choice C is correct. It is not located between the inner planets or in the region between the Sun and Neptune.
