For the people trying to understand time differences out there, it's not a huge secret... [quote]The Earth orbits the Sun once every 365.25 days (approximately one year). The Oort Cloud, on the other hand, is a vast, theoretical spherical shell of icy objects surrounding our solar system. Objects in the Oort Cloud have incredibly long orbital periods. Their orbits can range from thousands to even millions of years. Some sources indicate orbital periods of 15 million years or more for objects in the outer Oort Cloud. So, compared to something in the Oort Cloud, the Earth would orbit the Sun an enormous number of times. To give you an idea of the scale: * If an Oort Cloud object had an orbital period of 1 million years, the Earth would have orbited the Sun 1,000,000 times for every single orbit of that Oort Cloud object. * If an Oort Cloud object had an orbital period of 15 million years, the Earth would have orbited the Sun 15,000,000 times for every single orbit of that Oort Cloud object. The ratio is truly staggering, highlighting the immense distances and time scales involved in the outer reaches of our solar system. [/quote]
