What is the total mass of the Oort Cloud? I'm pretty sure it is vastly less than 1 Jupiter mass (as supposedly Jupiter outweighs everything else in the System combined, except the Sun) in which case this object would (as I understand it) be considered dominant in its region, as it outweighed all the debris in its orbit (as, say, Ceres doesn't.)
