What is another name for the asteroid belt and 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."
Which has not actually been seen by astronomers the Main asteroid belt the Oort cloud or the Kuiper belt?
The Oort Cloud has not been directly observed by astronomers, while both the Main Asteroid Belt and the Kuiper Belt have been observed and studied. The Oort Cloud is a theoretical region of icy bodies beyond the Kuiper Belt, and its presence is inferred from the trajectories of some comets.
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.
Are most comets found in either Oort cloud or the asteroid belt?
Rocky asteroids. Icy comets often live in and come from the Kuiper Belt.
These pieces of rock that separate the inner planets from outer planets?
are called the asteroid belt and the Kuiper belt. The asteroid belt is located between Mars and Jupiter, while the Kuiper belt is found beyond Neptune. These rocky bodies are remnants from the early solar system and provide valuable information about planetary formation.

What is the name of the belt that separate the inner from the outer planets?
The asteroid belt orbits between the rocky planets and the gas giants.
How are Kuiper Belt objects relevant to humans?
because of the asteroid belt
What are two belts of the solar system called?
The two belts are the asteroid belt and the Kuiper belt. The asteroid belt is located between Mars and Jupiter, populated with rocky objects. The Kuiper belt is farther out, beyond Neptune, and is home to many icy bodies and dwarf planets.
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. A link can be found below for more information.
Are comets part of the of the asteroid belt?
No. Comets come from beyond the asteroid belt, mostly from a region called the Kuiper Belt, beyond the orbit of Neptune.
Where are mostly asteroid found in the solar system?
Asteroids are found all over the place; there is a larger concentration in certain areas, such as the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, and the Kuiper Belt beyond the known planets in our Solar System.
Where in your solar system are dwarf planets found?
In the Kuiper Belt, apart from Ceres which is in the Asteroid Belt.
How many belts does the sun have?
The sun has 2 belts ,the asteroid and the kuiper belt.
What planets does the asteroid belt surround?
It's between Mars and Jupiter. The Kuiper Belt is near Neptune.
Which has not actually been seen by astronomers the Main asteroid belt the Oort cloud or the Kuiper belt?
