The solar system extends far beyond Neptune into two major cometary regions: the Kuiper Belt, a flat disk of short-period comets, and the Oort Cloud, a vast spherical zone of long-period comets. Kuiper Belt objects often follow elliptical orbits, while Oort Cloud comets tend to travel on parabolic or hyperbolic trajectories, sometimes making a single pass around the Sun before exiting the solar system entirely.
