134340 Pluto is just a largest Kuiper belt object like 1 Ceres is the largest main-belt asteroid. 134340 Pluto is just the first TNO that was discovered. It was found in 1930 by Clyde Tombaugh... The second TNO 15760 (1992 QB1) was found decades later. It was discovered in 1992 by David Jewitt and Jane Luu.
Pluto was called a planet only because astronomers expected to find a planet. They thought that were something perturbing Neptune's motion by its gravity, an object about a size of Neptune itself but father away. (Neptune itself was found when astronomers realised that something perturbing Uranus.) Later it was realised that "perturbations" in Neptune's orbit didnt exist, they were just errors in calculations.
134340 Pluto is just one icy object in 2:3 mean motion resonance with Neptune. These are called "plutinos" and other large plutinos include 90482 Orcus, 28978 Ixion and 38628 Huya. They have orbits similar to Pluto (Crossing Neptunes orbit for example.). Pluto's composition size and orbitar characteristics are similar to the other Kuiper belt TNO:s so it is definitely a TNO and a KBO (Kuiper belt object). Other large Kuiper belt objects are 136472 Makemake, 136108 Haumea, 50000 Quaoar and 20000 Varuna. Many KBO:s (and also many asteroids) have moons. Some like main-belt asteroid 45 Eugenia have even two moons.
134340 Pluto's fate is not unique. The first main-belt asteroids that were discovered: 1 Ceres, 2 Pallas, 3 Juno and 4 Vesta were called planets for decades until discovery of other objects between Jupiter and Mars (first was 5 Astraea found in 1845) eventually led their reclassification as minor planets or asteroids and the serial numbers were added to their names. The area between Mars and Jupiter were named "the asteroid belt" also known as "main-belt".
What else can I help you with?
Is Pluto is the largest member of the Kuiper Belt?
Yes. PLuto is the largest known object in the Kuiper belt.
What does Pluto dwells on on the inner Edge?
Kuiper belt
Does charon belong to Kuiper belt?
Yes, it is a moon of Pluto, which is a Kuiper belt object.
Where did Pluto form?
in the Kuiper Belt
Begins near Pluto's orbit?
Pluto's orbit is near the beginning of the Kuiper belt.
Where is the kuiper belt located at?
The kuiper belt are a collection of rocks beyond the orbit of Pluto. All the dwarf planets (except Ceres) are near the Kuiper Belt.
What two dwarf planets are in the Kuiper Belt?
The two that have been identified and named are Eris and Sedna, although Pluto arguably belongs in the "Kuiper belt" category as well. However, there are certainly hundreds, more likely millions of similar objects that are still just a little too far away to be detected by our terrestrial telescopes. Edit: I think the correct answer is : Haumea and Makemake. Also I would definitely say Pluto is in the Kuiper Belt. So that's three Dwarf Planets in the Kuiper Belt. Eris is a "Scattered Disc Object", but some astronomers consider it as a Kuiper Belt Object too. Sedna, as far as I know, has not yet been classified as a Dwarf Planet.
What types of objects would you find in the Kuiper Belt?
In the Kuiper Belt, you would find a variety of icy objects such as dwarf planets, comets, asteroids, and small moons. Some of the most well-known objects in the Kuiper Belt include Pluto, Eris, Makemake, and Haumea.
What does not lend support to the idea that Pluto is a Kuiper-belt object?
Pluto's orbit is more elliptical than most Kuiper belt objects, it has a higher inclination relative to the plane of the solar system, and its composition is different from the typical Kuiper belt objects.
which is true of pluto ?
Pluto has a moon that is about half its size
Was Pluto the biggest object in the Kuiper Belt?
The answer To Your Question Is Yes.
What planets is the kuiper belt located between?
The Kuiper belt is not between any planets. It is far beyond the orbits of Neptune and Pluto.
