What can you find in the Kuiper Belt?

Minor planets, comets, asteroids, and dust.


how many total asteroids are there (asteroid belt AND kuiper belt) (also including rogue asteroids that arent in those asteroid belts)?

The total number of asteroids in the solar system is not known with certainty, as many asteroids are small and difficult to detect, and new asteroids are constantly being discovered. However, astronomers estimate that there are millions of asteroids in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, and potentially trillions of objects in the Kuiper Belt beyond Neptune. In addition, there are also a number of asteroids that do not reside in either the asteroid belt or Kuiper Belt, but instead follow their own unique orbits. These objects are sometimes referred to as "rogue asteroids," and their exact number is not known. Overall, while the exact number of asteroids in the solar system is uncertain, it is clear that there are many millions, if not trillions, of these small rocky bodies orbiting the sun.


The kuiper belt made up of asteroids and comets starts at the orbit of what tilted blue- green gas giant?

The Kuiper Belt begins beyond the orbit of Neptune, which is a blue-green ice giant. The Kuiper Belt is a region in the outer solar system that is home to numerous icy bodies, including asteroids and comets.


Where are asteroids or planetoids found?

Many are in the Asteroid Belt, which is between Mars and Jupiter. There are also many scattered throughout the solar system, orbiting the Sun. A number of icy asteroids and planetoids are found in the Kuiper Belt, past the orbit of Neptune.

Where is the location of the asteroids?

There are three main clusterings of asteroids in our solar system: the Asteroid Belt, the first one identified, which is composed mostly of rocky asteroids, the Kuiper Belt, which contains several dwarf planets, and many icy asteroids, and the Oort Cloud, a theoretical halo of sorts surrounding our solar system, comprised mainly of comets and icy asteroids.


What objects are in the kuiper belt?

The Kuiper belt contains various objects like dwarf planets (e.g. Pluto, Haumea, Makemake), Kuiper belt objects, centaurs, and comets. These objects are remnants from the early formation of the solar system and are composed mainly of rock, ice, and other volatiles.
