In the pisode of Cosmos dedicated, among others, to cometary objects, the Ort cloudwas graphically rendered as, as its name suggests, a spherical distribution of dots. This surprised me as I thought that it should be somehow a disk or a torus, given the solar system rotational momentum. Why is the Ort ensemble thought to be spherical? It is deduced from the orbits of the various comets? I think so. How is possibly explained that it does not spread to a more disk like object?
