LOCATION IN THE EXTREME SOLAR SYSTEM
Inner Oort cloud; Hills Cloud; Inner Oort Cloud
In astronomy, the Hills cloud (also called the inner Oort cloudsee Oort cloud and inner cloud) is a vast theoretical circumstellar disc, interior to the Oort cloud, whose outer border would be located at around 20,000 to 30,000 astronomical units (AU) from the Sun, and whose inner border, less well defined, is hypothetically located at , well beyond planetary and Kuiper Belt object orbits—but distances might be much greater. If it exists, the Hills cloud contains roughly 5 times as many comets as the Oort cloud.
