The Kuiper belt is a region of the solar system beyond the orbit of Neptune, believed to contain many comets, asteroids, and other small bodies made largely of ice.
So it 'belongs' to the whole Solar System, and although it is closest to Neptune, no planet owns it.

What is past Pluto?
The Kuiper belt extends from Neptune'sorbit to three billion kilometers beyond it. It contains lumps of icy material with organic compounds. That makes them like comets. These lumps are called Kuiper belt objects or minor planets. The Kuiper belt may have formed when the gravity of the young Jupiter sent the Kuiper belt objects out to where they are now.
What does Pluto dwells on on the inner Edge?
Kuiper belt
These pieces of rock that separate the inner planets from outer planets?
are called the asteroid belt and the Kuiper belt. The asteroid belt is located between Mars and Jupiter, while the Kuiper belt is found beyond Neptune. These rocky bodies are remnants from the early solar system and provide valuable information about planetary formation.
