The Kuiper Belt is named after Gerard Kuiper; he was one of the only scientists who had theories about the Kuiper belt in the early fifties
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.
Yes.
Your weight on the Kuiper Belt would be significantly less than on Earth due to its much weaker gravitational pull. The Kuiper Belt is a region of the outer solar system beyond Neptune, where the gravitational force is much weaker compared to Earth. Your weight would depend on the mass of the Kuiper Belt object you are standing on and its distance from the center of that object.
I would just call it that - a "group of asteroids".Names of specific "groups" include the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter; the Kuiper belt; the Trojans; and others.
The Kuiper Belt, a theorized area far beyond Neptune. There are actually two "shells" of debris around the Solar System. The Kuiper Belt is beyond Neptune, and the Oort Cloud is believed to be beyond that.
The full name of the Kuiper Belt is the Edgeworth-Kuiper Belt. It is named for the astronomers Kenneth Edgeworth and Gerard Kuiper. The Kuiper Belt is a region of the Earths solar system that is found beyond the planets. It extends from the orbit of Neptune.
the KUIPER BELT
it's sometimes called the Edgeworth-Kuiper belt
The asteroid belt is sometimes referred to as the "main belt," while the Kuiper belt is also known as the "Edgeworth-Kuiper belt."
Kuiper belt
No. The Kuiper belt is out past the orbit of Neptune.
The "Kuiper Belt" is named for Dutch astronomer Gerard Kuiper (1905-1973) and extends outward from the orbit of Neptune (from about 30 to 55 AU from the Sun). The area is vast, encompassing several trillion cubic kilometers. It contains many remnants from the formation of the Solar System, as its lack of planet-sized bodies prevented smaller planetoids from being captured or swept away.
The kuiper belt are a collection of rocks beyond the orbit of Pluto. All the dwarf planets (except Ceres) are near the Kuiper Belt.
Yes, it is a moon of Pluto, which is a Kuiper belt object.
No. The Kuiper belt is thirty to fifty times farther from the sun than Earth is.
There is not a "Planet" in the Kuiper Belt but a Dwarf Planet named Ceres is there. Hope I Helped -David
The Kuiper Belt dwarf planet Eris has one known moon, named Dysnomia.
