Mostly asteroids.
Objects in the Kuiper Belt often have a temperature of just 50K, or -223.15 Centigrade.
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.
The dwarf planets in the Kuiper Belt are often referred to as trans-Neptunian objects. This term encompasses objects like Pluto, Eris, Haumea, and Makemake, which are considered dwarf planets due to their size and orbit beyond Neptune.
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.
Pluto's orbit is near the beginning of the Kuiper belt.

What is the Kuiper Belt and what kind of objects reside there?
because of the asteroid 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.
KBO stands for: Kuiper Belt Objects
The dwarf planets in the Kuiper Belt are often referred to as trans-Neptunian objects. This term encompasses objects like Pluto, Eris, Haumea, and Makemake, which are considered dwarf planets due to their size and orbit beyond Neptune.
Comet like asteroids.
No. The Kupier belt is a collection of icy objects in the outer solar system.

They orbit our sun.
