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.
