The Kuiper Belt is the main group or cluster of asteroids and comets in our galaxy. But even though I am sure, I advise you to do research elsewhere. You can never trust the opinions of others.
Have a nice day! Haha! :P

Where is Makemake?
Makemake is the third largest dwarf planet and can be found in the Kuiper belt. [See Link]
Is the Milky Way an asteroid belt?
No. It is a galaxy consisting of hundred of billions of stars. It is many times larger than any asteroid belt.
What galaxy do you live in?
We all live in the same Universe.
Who owns the Milky Way galaxy?
Lots of people own little bits of the Milky Way galaxy. The Earth and everything on it is part of the Milky Way so if you own anything at all you too own a bit of the Milky Way. People themselves are also part of the Milky Way so in a way bits of the Milky Way own parts of the Milky Way.
What did Gerard Kuiper discover?
The Kuiper belt (or Kyper Belt) [See Link] is a region of the Solar System beyond the planets extending from the orbit of Neptune at around 30 AU to approximately 55 AU from the Sun. It is home to at least three dwarf planets -- Pluto, Haumea and Makemake. While the asteroid belt is composed primarily of rock and metal, the Kuiper belt objects are composed largely of frozen volatiles ("ices"), such as methane, ammonia and water.

Where is the Milky Way in the solar system?
There are many asteroid formations in the Milky Way. Of those, three orbit our sun, Sol. The first, and most commonly known, asteroid formation in our system is the Asteroid Belt (sometimes called the Main Belt). It is located approximately 3 AU (448,793,612.1 kilometres) from the sun, and is comprised of mostly rocky asteroids in a belt formation. The second is the Kuiper Belt, a belt formation of icy asteroids and dwarf planets. The third is the Oort Cloud, a theorized cloud of asteroids orbiting far beyond the Kuiper Belt.
Where is Makemake?
Makemake is the third largest dwarf planet and can be found in the Kuiper belt. [See Link]
Is the total mass of the Kuiper belt greater than that of the asteroid belt?
Yes, the mass of the Kuiper belt exceeds that of the asteroid belt, and it is something like 20 to 200 times more massive. The Kuiper belt is a long way away, and the objects in it are mostly small, so it is through gravimetric studies that we "guestimate" the Kuiper belt's mass. A link can be found below for more information.
Is Orions belt an arm of milky way galaxy?
No.
Is the milky way bigger than the asteroid belt?
Yes much bigger.
When you look in the sky do you see the asteroid belt or the Milky Way Galaxy?
