Yes, it is the region beyond Neptune that extends to the edge of the solar system. Like the asteroid belt, this area contains left over parts that did not make it when the solar system was created. Pluto, comets, and other small and tiny items are scattered out here.

Where is the Kuiper Belt and what type of bodies are located there?
Kuiper Belt is the remotest and the farthest part of our solar system, starting from the orbit of Neptune. It is much like the asteroid belt, but is 20-200 times heavier. It contains, mostly the remnants of the solar system formation. It also has asteroids of large size, comets and cooled gases.
What part of the solar system is Demeter?
1108 Demeter - is part of the Asteroid belt, located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
Where in the solar system are most of the dwarf planets located?
Dwarf planets by their definition do not have a specific place in which they are necessarily located, but as it pertains to our solar systems, a majority of the dwarf planets have been located beyond Neptune, in a region of the system known as the Kuiper Belt. The only current dwarf planet in the inner solar system is Ceres, in the Asteroid Belt.A dwarf planet is defined asAn object with sufficient mass to generate enough self-gravity to attain hydrostatic equilibrium (meaning a near sperical shape)An object that is not a satellite of another planetary bodyOne that (unlike the major planets) has not sufficiently cleared its orbit of other astronomical bodies.Pluto is now classified as a Dwarf Planet thanks in part to the discovery of several other objects in the belt of similiar, if not larger, mass within the Kuiper Belt, known collectively as KBOs, Kuiper Belt Objects. Another example of a dwarf planet would be Ceres, located in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. There is also Eris, which is an example of a series of objects collectively known in our system as Trans-Neptunian Objects-TNOs. Neptune's own moon of Triton has been theorized to be a Dwarf planet-TNO that was captured by planet's gravity after being knocked out of it's original orbit within the Belt. The remaining dwarf planets are Haumea and Makemake in the Kuiper Belt.

Does the kuiper belt have galaxies?
The Kuiper Belt is part of the Solar System. In other words, it is much smaller than a galaxy.
Is earth part of the Kuiper belt?
No. The Kuiper belt is thirty to fifty times farther from the sun than Earth is.
Why are kuiper belt objects considered part of your solar system?
They orbit our sun.

Why is Pluto an ice planet?
It's a member of the Kuiper belt (the inner part of the Oort cloud), home of comets and leftovers from the formation of the solar system.
Why is it the meteors is the part of the solar system?
the meteorites are part of the solar system because they are in the asteroid belt an the asteroid belt is in the solar system
When was Pluto downgraded from a plant?
Pluto was officially 'downgraded' to minor planet status on September 13, 2006. It was deemed that Pluto was actually part of the Kuiper belt - and not part of our solar system.
What are the 2 reasons why Pluto was demoted from planet status to dwarf planet status?
The main reason is that it is so far away from the Sun, that it is considered part of the Kuiper belt - not the solar system. There are similar sized objects to Pluto in the Kuiper belt system, and thus Pluto was 'demoted' to dwarf planet status.
Is the asteroid belt located outside the solar system?
No, it is part of the Solar system.
Is kuiper belt the most distant object in your solar system?
Pluto is still considered to be the the largest KBO, however there are several "scattered" objects that are believed to have come from the Kuiper Belt. For a discussion of the sizes of known KBO's and Scattered KBO's see the related link
Is the Kuyper Belt smaller than the solar system?
Considering the Kyper belt is part of the Solar System the question cannot be answered.
Are asteroids part of your solar system?
yes, asteroids are part of our solar system there in the asteroid belt which seperates the inner part from the outer part.
