Is it the Oort outer belt (outside of Pluto) or the Kuiper belt? What
gave comets their great elliptical orbits. I would think a round orbit was closer to the reality of gravity.Seems to me comets should in time line up with the surface of the sun and hit. We watch Jupiter being hit by a comet.(famous pictures) I really don't see much difference than a comet or an asteroid,but I'll bet on a comet that hit the Earth 130 million years ago as being the one that wiped out most of the cold blooded animals,and made room for us mammals.
