That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
The correct answer is "Oort Cloud". The Oort Cloud is a vast collection of icy bodies, including comets, that surrounds the Sun at a distance ranging from about 2,000 to 200,000 astronomical units (AU). The Oort Cloud is believed to be the source of long-period comets that occasionally enter the inner solar system.
