The Kuiper Belt is one
The Kuiper Belt is one of the most distant objects in the solar system, but although our astronomical observation technologies have improved dramatically during the last decades, we are still not able to observe all the objects in this distant region of the solar system, is for this reason why the Kuiper Belt is one of the most mysterious places and in this video, we will show you ten impressive things you should know about the Kuiper Belt.
11. Does not contain any asteroids
When talking about the Kuiper belt, it is usually described as an asteroid belt similar to the one between Mars and Jupiter but located beyond Neptune.
10. It is larger than the asteroid belt
Although our telescopes do not allow us to see all of the KBOs, thanks to data collected by the Minor Planet Center of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, we know that the number of KBOs can be up to 200 times more massive than the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
9. The Kuiper Ice
As we said in point 1, KBOs cannot be classified as asteroids since they are located outside the asteroid belt. Still, in addition to not being in the exact location, Kuiper belt objects have another difference concerning asteroids.
8. Neptune, the orchestra director
Although the distances between the planets in the solar system are vast, the gravity of giant planets such as Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune can influence each other and generate something called "Orbital Resonance."
7 . It's huge!
The central yellow dot is the Sun, the red dots with letters are the planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, and the disk with blue and orange dots are the KBOs known to date
6. Uncertain origin
Just as the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter has an uncertain origin, the Kuiper belt has a, until now, unknown origin.
