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

∙ 15y agoThe Kuiper belt starts somewhere around Neptune's orbit. Pluto is believed to be a Kuiper Belt object.

Sedna is an important object in the solar system because?
It is the most distant object known
What is a sentence for kuiper belt?
The Kuiper belt is thought to contain matter that was left over from the formation of the solar system
Is Pluto really the most distant solar system object?
Sedna is the most distant solar system object discovered so far. It is about three times farther away than Pluto currently is. Because it is so far away, scientists are not sure if it has enough mass to be classified as a dwarf planet.
What are two regions of the solar system?
Comets originate from two regions in the Solar System, the Kuiper Belt and the Oort cloud.
What is a region of the solar system that extends from the orbit of Neptune?
The Kuiper Belt
Do the kuiper belt rotate on the axis?
The Kuiper belt is not an object; it is a region of the solar system. Therefore it does not have an axis of rotation
Why is sedna important to the solar system?
it is the most distant object object known
Sedna is an important object in the solar system because?
It is the most distant object known
Why is Sedena important in the solar system?
It is the most distant object known.
Is Makemake a inner planet or outer planet?
Makemake is an asteroid/Kuiper belt object in the outer solar system.
What object can detect the oldest most distant objects in the solar system?
The Radio Telescope
Is the Kuiper Belt in our solar system?
Yes.
What do you call a object orbiting the sun?
The solar system includes planets, asteroids, comets and other objects such as the" Kuiper Belt" objects.
Where is kuipers beltlocated withen the solar system?
The Kuiper Belt is an area of the solar system beyond the orbit of Neptune. It is believed to be a toroidal (doughnut-shaped) area that contains a lot of the left-over remnants from the formation of the solar system. Because the Kuiper Belt is so distant and all of the matter believed to be there is so small, we actually know very little about it. The planet Pluto is now believed to be a Kuiper Belt object rather than a "proper" planet; a rocky, icy body more like a giant comet than a real planet. About the other known Kuiper Belt objects, even less is known; Eris, Haumea and Makemake. There is another hypothetical region of space beyond even the Kuiper Belt. This is the "Oort Cloud".
What is the farthest object in our solar system?
Look up an object called Sedna, I believe it lies about 5 billion miles from earth and is pushed past the Kuiper Belt Region
What in the solar system starts with Q?
quasar : a very bright, very distant object, similar to a star
Which objects in the solar system have been least modified since the formation of the solar system?
Kuiper Belt objects
