The current 3-sigma uncertainty in the comet's distance from the Sun is ±35,000 km. [16] The inbound and outbound orbital period of an Oort cloud comet are never exactly the same as the orbit changes as a result of planetary perturbations. For an Oort cloud comet an orbit defined while inside of the planetary region can produce results that ...
