How many comets are inside of the oort cloud?
Comets, a cosmic wanderer, whose rocky core provides the gravitational attraction to hold the shell of ice and dirt that encompasses it is a mystery that mankind has proposed an answer to its creation and source. How were they formed in the genesis of the solar system? For what reason do comets contain the materials for the essence of life in the void of space without stimuli? Presently most scientists conclude the Oort Cloud is a spherical shell of comets residing outside of the of this solar system, in theory. Hypothesized by mankind, comets are displaced from the Oort cloud by the gravitational force emanating from a periodical passing star seen or unseen, which is moving to the outside of our solar system. Current theories propose as an effect of this passing, the gravitational tug exerts a force some objects contained within the sphere. Can these comets, which are moving about in the Oort cloud, be dislodged by this gravitational attractive force, thus ejecting them out of the clo
