What two dwarf planets are apart of the kuiper belt?
Pluto and Eris
What two dwarf planets are in the Kuiper Belt?
The two that have been identified and named are Eris and Sedna, although Pluto arguably belongs in the "Kuiper belt" category as well. However, there are certainly hundreds, more likely millions of similar objects that are still just a little too far away to be detected by our terrestrial telescopes. Edit: I think the correct answer is : Haumea and Makemake. Also I would definitely say Pluto is in the Kuiper Belt. So that's three Dwarf Planets in the Kuiper Belt. Eris is a "Scattered Disc Object", but some astronomers consider it as a Kuiper Belt Object too. Sedna, as far as I know, has not yet been classified as a Dwarf Planet.
What are the names of two other dwarf planets besides Pluto and where are they located?
Two other dwarf planets besides Pluto are Eris, which is located in the Kuiper Belt, and Haumea, which is located beyond Neptune in the scattered disc region of the outer solar system.
Where do comets form?
Comets have two main sources, the Oort Cloud or the Kuiper Belt
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.

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.

What are facts about the kuiper belt?
There are very few "facts" about the Kuiper Belt; the only space probes ever to get that far were the two Voyager probes, and they weren't equipped to make any meaningful measurements of the small bodies that we expect to find there. So most of what we THINK we know are based on theories, or outright guesses. What we DO KNOW: There are three "dwarf planets" in the area of the Kuiper Belt, named Eris, Sedna, and Makemake.
What are the two major parts of the solar system?
The two major parts of the solar system are the inner solar system, which includes the four inner terrestrial planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) and the asteroid belt, and the outer solar system, which includes the gas giant planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) and the Kuiper Belt.
What are the names of two other dwarf planets besides Pluto and where are they located?
Two other dwarf planets besides Pluto are Eris, which is located in the Kuiper Belt, and Haumea, which is located beyond Neptune in the scattered disc region of the outer solar system.
Two natural satellites of the sun?
There are millions of them, ranging from the main eight planets, several further dwarf planets, comets, asteroids, kuiper belt objects and meteoroids. All in orbit around our sun.
Where do comets form?
Comets have two main sources, the Oort Cloud or the Kuiper Belt
Where are most of the dwarf planets in your solar system?
So far, we have identified five "dwarf planets"; one in the asteroid belt (Ceres), and four in or near the Kuiper Belt. (Pluto is at least close to the Kuiper Belt.) We sort-of-expect to find more object which may, more or less, fit the description of "dwarf planet", but we won't really know until we get out there. In addition, there are two more asteroids (Pallas and Vesta) that perhaps ought to be re-classified as dwarf planets.

Which planets in our solar system have no moons?
Mercury and Venus are the only two major planets in our solar system without moons. They are the two planets closer to the Sun than Earth.Two of the five dwarf planets have no known moons : the asteroid Ceres and the Kuiper Belt object Makemake.Neither Mercury nor Venus have any moons.
What two planets is the asteroid belt next to?
the asteroid belt is located between the planets mars and Jupiter
