Could you please elaborate on the thickness of the Oort Cloud? I understand it's a vast region surrounding our solar system, but I'm curious about its specific dimensions. Is there a definitive measurement for its thickness, or is it more of an estimated range? Additionally, how does its thickness compare to other celestial structures in our galaxy?
