The Kuiper Belt is the main group or cluster of asteroids and comets in our galaxy. But even though I am sure, I advise you to do research elsewhere. You can never trust the opinions of others.

Have a nice day! Haha! :P

Where is the Milky Way in the solar system?

There are many asteroid formations in the Milky Way. Of those, three orbit our sun, Sol. The first, and most commonly known, asteroid formation in our system is the Asteroid Belt (sometimes called the Main Belt). It is located approximately 3 AU (448,793,612.1 kilometres) from the sun, and is comprised of mostly rocky asteroids in a belt formation. The second is the Kuiper Belt, a belt formation of icy asteroids and dwarf planets. The third is the Oort Cloud, a theorized cloud of asteroids orbiting far beyond the Kuiper Belt.


Where is Makemake?

Makemake is a dwarf planet located in the Kuiper Belt, a region of the outer solar system beyond Neptune. It is one of the largest known objects in the Kuiper Belt and was discovered in 2005. Its orbit takes it around the Sun once every 310 years.


Is Eris a planet in the milky way galaxy?

Eris is not a planet in the Milky Way galaxy; it is a dwarf planet located in the outer solar system. It is the most massive dwarf planet known to exist and is part of the Kuiper Belt, a region beyond Neptune that is home to many icy bodies.


Is the total mass of the Kuiper belt greater than that of the asteroid belt?

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.

When you look in the sky do you see the asteroid belt or the Milky Way Galaxy?

Virtually everything that you see are stars or other objects that are in the Milky Way. You can see some of the planets of our solar system, but they of course are part of the Milky Way too.


Is the Milky Way an asteroid belt?

No, the Milky Way is not an asteroid belt. It is a large barred spiral galaxy that contains our solar system along with billions of stars, gas, and dust. An asteroid belt is a region in a solar system where many asteroids are found orbiting the Sun.

What did Gerard Kuiper discover?

The Kuiper belt (or Kyper Belt) [See Link] is a region of the Solar System beyond the planets extending from the orbit of Neptune at around 30 AU to approximately 55 AU from the Sun. It is home to at least three dwarf planets -- Pluto, Haumea and Makemake. While the asteroid belt is composed primarily of rock and metal, the Kuiper belt objects are composed largely of frozen volatiles ("ices"), such as methane, ammonia and water.
