These are not to be confused with meteors. ]]> 2017-02-08 23:45:50 UTC https://padlet.com/ChlorineJunky/2vk33posxis8/wish/152647487 ChlorineJunky https://padlet.com/ChlorineJunky/2vk33posxis8/wish/152649096 The Kuiper Belt (also known as the Edgeworth–Kuiper belt) is a region of the Solar System that exists beyond the eight major planets, extending from the orbit of Neptune (at 30 AU) to approximately 50 AU from the Sun. It is similar to the asteroid belt, in that it contains many small bodies, all remnants from the Solar System’s formation. But unlike the Asteroid Belt, it is much larger – 20 times as wide and 20 to 200 times as massive.
