You would not have any particular weight "on" the Kuiper belt because it is not an object you can land on. The Kuiper belt is a region of the solar system that contains a collection of icy objects. You could potentially land on some of these objects, but you weight on them would vary depending on their size and mass. Some are too small to have noticeable gravity. The most massive of them, Eris, has about 8.4% of Earth's gravity.

Does the Halley's Comet ever leave our Solar System?
No. Halley's Comet barely gets past the orbit of Neptune, and not by much. It is well short of reaching into the Kuiper Belt.
How much would an 80-kg astronaut weigh on Ceres?
15N.. i have the same question.
How much would you weigh on Sirius A?
If you weighed 100lb on Earth you would weigh about 5,400 lb for about a millisecond before you were incinerated and turned into vapour. Sirius A is a star about twice the size of our Sun.
How much do the werewolves weigh in the movie underworld?
My rough estimate would be around 150-200 kilograms.
How much do battleships weigh?
Battleships weigh about 50,000 tons
Does the kuiper belt have galaxies?
The Kuiper Belt is part of the Solar System. In other words, it is much smaller than a galaxy.
What two planets are part of the kuiper belt?
There are no planets in the Kuiper Belt. Anything in the Kuiper belt pretty much is not a planet by definition (KBOs do sometimes cross the orbit of Neptune, though).
Where is the Kuiper Belt and what type of bodies are located there?
Kuiper Belt is the remotest and the farthest part of our solar system, starting from the orbit of Neptune. It is much like the asteroid belt, but is 20-200 times heavier. It contains, mostly the remnants of the solar system formation. It also has asteroids of large size, comets and cooled gases.
What color is the Kuiper Belt?
Black. Or transparent. The Kuiper Belt is mostly empty space. The objects in the Kuiper "Belt" are small, frozen, balls of nothing much left over from the formation of the solar system. They are, in general, too small to be seen from Earth, even with our biggest telescopes.
Is the comet belt in between mars and Jupiter?
No. The asteroid belt is an area between Mars and Jupiter where most of the solar system's asteroids orbit. The Kupier belt is much farther out. It is a region that contains a large number of comets orbiting beyond Neptune.
Is kuiper belt the most distant object in your solar system?
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
Why is the kuiper belt not visited?
It's too far away. The Kuiper Belt is beyond the orbit of even Pluto, much farther away than we can send people to for a while; too far even for robot probes to go, yet.
What planet Is a kuiper belt object?
The Kuiper belt is located between 20 AU (Astronomical Units, where 1 AU is the earth to sun distance), to about 50 AU from the sun. It is made up of lots of small objects too small to be called planets, but which are in orbit around our sun. It is a bit like the asteroid belt, but much further out and spread over larger distances.
What is beyond the planets towards the edge of the solar system?
After Neptune, there is the Kuiper belt. This is a bit like the asteroid belt between mars and jupiter, but is much further out. It contains some quite large objects, such as dwarf planets and dwarf planet candidates. Beyond the Kuiper belt and much, much further out is the hypothetical Oort cloud, many pieces of debris which are only just held in by the suns gravity.
What is closer to the sun the Oort cloud object or Kuiper belt object?
The Kuiper Belt begins somewhere past the orbit of Neptune; the dwarf planet Pluto is technically a Kuiper Belt Object.The Oort Cloud is hypothesized as being much farther out. Comets that approach the Sun inevitably will lose mass and disintegrate in much less than a billion years. But the Earth is about 4.6 billion years old, and we're still seeing comets. There must be a repository of pre-comet objects in distant orbits, and something probably occasionally perturbs an Oort cloud object and causes it to drop into the inner solar system.
Why is it difficult to find concrete details about kuiper belt objects?
Those objects are far away, so not much information is known about them.
How do comets from the oort cloud differ from those found in the kuiper belt?
Comets are thought to have either originated from the Kuiper belt or the Oort cloud. The Oort cloud is much further out than the Kuiper belt, so comets with much longer periods are thought to originate from here, while shorter period comets are thought to mainly originate from the Kuiper belt. The Oort cloud extends as far out as 50,000 AU or nearly one light year from our sun - this is roughly where the boundary is for our solar systems gravitational influence. Passing stars and the gravitational effect of our galaxy are thought to dislodge objects from this hypothetical field of object, causing long term comets such as Halley's comet to enter into an eccentric orbit around our sun. The Kuiper belt, by contrast, extends from about 30 AU to 55AU. Generally speaking, the comets will be similar in composition, but those originating from the Oort cloud may have much longer periods and orbits.
