Which of the following statements about the Oort Cloud is incorrect?
Correct Answer:
D. It has been directly observed through telescopes and contains approximately 1 trillion objects
Explanation:
The Oort Cloud remains theoretical and has never been directly observed; we infer its existence from comet trajectories and orbital studies.
While estimates suggest it contains billions to trillions of icy bodies, these objects are too distant and too small to be directly observed with current technology, making option D the incorrect statement among the given choices.
