That's a good question to a question. As far as I know, we have no
specific science upon the stuff of the Kuiper and Oort zones, other than
their generally being of low albedo, thus if those are of ice or dry-ice
balls, they're extremely dirty.

I'm also thinking a wee of a bit further out, somewhere at the
nullification zone between us and Sirius where there could be as few as
1 atom per ccm, possibly even one atom/m3.

Of course it's thereby extremely cold (near absolute zero) thus good for
the likes of Orme atoms but hardy all that suitable for the likes of
frozen dirty water or even dirty dry-ice(frozen CO2), as the absolute
vacuum isn't persay keeping the starshine away from interacting with
whatever's out there.

The intensity of near-UV and UV/a arriving from the likes of the Sirius
star system is actually fairly horrific, not to mention what's UV/b,
UV/c and so forth. Actually, there's all sorts of cosmic energy across
the spectrum, and of the IR spectrum of which Hubble obtains fairly poor
images of. Too bad their CCD upgrades are not going to transpire, as I
believe their spectrum range and depth of exposure were going to be
substantially extended.

The stories of comets being of ice is perhaps just that, stories. Since
there's no hard evidence, I'm thinking that possibly (purely deductive
guess work running amuck) if such a comet were massive enough, say 1000
km to start off with, and upon entering our inner solar system started
vaporising away prior to encountering the outer atmosphere of Earth,
that which can be gravity and solar wind extended past our moon (lunar
atmosphere of mostly spare sodium atoms has been recorded as extending
beyond 900,000 km), thereby the remainder of the original comet arrives
within our neighborhood at 10% of it's original mass, and/or of lesser
companions may eventually survive reentry by perhaps 1% of that making
it to the surface. Thus 0.1% from the mass of the original 1000 km orb
of supposed Kuiper/Oort zone ice arrives upon Earth. That's still a
fairly big bang, though hardly any significant amount of water, unless
we're talking about thousands of them suckers impacting mother Earth.

I've nicely asked of the science and astrophysics wizards as for their
expertise regarding the terminal velocity of space. Oddly, I obtained
their usual mainstream flak if anything at all. I realize there's darn
little that's out there, but if you're clocking along at 70 km/s in
relationship to our average frame of existence, and if at times that
needed to include another 30+km/s because of our mutual head-on closing
velocity should becomes 100 km/s, at which point you'd have to think
that the displacement of a 1000 km orb of a comet going through perhaps
1e9 atoms/m3 at 100 km/s is going to dust something off that comet, and
induce a small amount of friction (thus imposing a factor of terminal
velocity) that'll become instantly converted into heat, that which
should only expedite the transfer from whatever is solid ice into
becoming gas/vapor rather quickly, especially since we're still talking
about a near vacuum as well as a 24/7/52 and so forth timeline.

I'm just not sure of what's ice, dry-ice or being somehow encapsulated
on behalf of whatever's ice.
