  • I got the total masses for the asteroid belt and Kuiper belt+scattered disc from:
    Masses of the Main Asteroid Belt and the Kuiper Belt from the Motions of Planets and Spacecraft (link.springer....)
    I believe this paper treats the scattered disc as part of the Kuiper belt, though it's often treated as a separate thing.
    The estimated mass for the Oort cloud comes from:
    Origin and Dynamical Evolution of Comets and their Reservoirs (arxiv.org/pdf/...)
    The estimate used isn't exact and could be off by an order of magnitude. The same is true for planet nine, for which I got an estimated mass from:
    The Planet Nine Hypothesis (arxiv.org/pdf/...)
    Music: A performance of unknown origin of Claude Debussy's Rêverie
    upload.wikimed...
    I tried to track down the origin of this file but could not find the original performer. The "Content ID" system matched it with one performance but after listening to both to compare, this seemed to be a mismatch.
