It never ends. Do you mean at what distance do orbits
around the Sun become unstable due to influence of
other objects? IIRC, that distance is about 1 light
year.

Yep that is what I ment. In that case the Ort Cloud is 1 light year
from the sun.

Bop. approx 80 AU. That is 80 * radious of the earth orbiting the sun
Take a calculator and compare the distances!

It's 7,440,000,000 miles, or double the distance to Pluto from the Sun
approx. How thick is the Ort cloud?
