Answer:

20 million Earth years

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The Oort cloud is a throptoticaly cloud that is of predominantly of the icy planetesimals and is proposed around the sun ranging for the 20,000 to 200,000 au and is situated in the shape of a disk cloud and the outer Ooty cod is bound by a loosely bound a solar system and is easily affected by the gravitational pull both of the passing stars and the milky way, and thus based on its orbit the short period of comets are in a scattered disk that originated from this disk.
