This paper investigates the applicability of modified Newtonian mechanics(MOND) to celestial body inside solar system, specifically by studying the trajectory of the Oort Cloud comets with aphelion distance more than 10^3 AU.Although Modified Newtonian Mechanics been widely proposed as an alternative explanation to dark matter for the missing mass problem in the large galaxy. Notably in the spiral galaxy where the galaxy mass shows significant discrepancies with observation with respect to the magnitude velocity of the star at the edge of the galaxy. Using computer simulation we model the orbit motion of comet under both MOND and classical newtonian conditions .Through analyzing ,we identified measurable discrepancies in velocity component for the comet .The results suggest that although the MOND itself has negligible impact for inner solar system object ,it processed significant impact on comet orbit when the aphelion distance were more than 10^3 AU ,and became increasingly large for longer aphelion distance .Our finding provide a insight of MOND potential impact of observable solar system impact that may could possibly testing this derivation under future observation.
