The Kuiper belt is located between 20 AU (Astronomical Units, where 1 AU is the earth to sun distance), to about 50 AU from the sun. It is made up of lots of small objects too small to be called planets, but which are in orbit around our sun. It is a bit like the asteroid belt, but much further out and spread over larger distances.
