Is the Kuiper Belt a neccessity?

By this I mean does the Kuiper belt a necessary and vital part of our solar system. There could be several interpretations to this question. Here's mine in the beginning I think the collection of matter happened from magnetism within the metals of the Kuiper belt and that it being pushed out to the outer rim of the solar system was ideal. I do believe however that the Kuiper Belt although interesting and we may be able to learn from it, I can see that there is something to learn on how these formed, why they formed, the significance and insignificance of the Kuiper Belt. The more the human race discovers about the belt could change our perception of the early solar system and make give us some hidden information about our own world, and how it affects the people on this planet. The Kuiper is a necessity at this point because it hasn't been studied enough to this point.

Ok it's ONE thing to drop Pluto but not you've gone too far

Eris, is another dwarf planet that orbits our sun every 557 years. Our sun has enough gravitational pull on an object in space almost 100 AU away from it. That distance is just unimaginable 1 AU is barely conceible never mind a hundred times that. The extremity of the sun's power cannot be understated enough. In reference to that I'd like to recall an experiment I did at Bristol Community with Professor Marks. He had us step outside and showed the mere foot distance scaled version of just the terrestrial planets. By the time we were four parking lots or so apart it was apparent that his distance between one another is vast. Never in my right mind could we ever really measure Eris. We'd be in separate towns, possibly separate states. So astronomers first Pluto gets dropped as a planet, now it's not the furthest dwarf planet out there? Pluto has to me fallen down the list of significance in the solar system. In a way Pluto is the pioneer of being a dwarf planet I guess.  The fact that these discoveries were made during my lifetime is interesting and significant toward the 2000s generation contribution to astronomy. It futhers our understanding of gravitational pull as well, and just how strong the sun really is.

First Post on Kuiper Belt

So the basics of the Kuiper belt is that it is the outermost part of our solar system. Past Neptune 30 to 50 AU's lies this belt with a wealth of undiscovered objects out in it. From what understand of the basics of it it is where comets tend to come from in our solar system this is just my first post I haven't understood the rest of the meaning of the kuiper belt just yet. What's it true purpose and meaning to our lives currently. It also includes the planet Pluto. Excuse me former planet Pluto turned dwarf planet as of August 24th 2007.  The Kuiper belt is mostly considered to be leftovers from planetary formation in from beginning of our solar system. This makes the belt interesting because we may be able to learn how matter from the earliest stages of the solar system interact with one another, and how it may affects us today.

Cartoon Pluto

Pluto what a character it is. Whoops wrong Pluto.This is my second post on the Kuiper belt post and I've chosen to dedicate this post to the largest object to be apart of the kuiper belt that being controversial planet extraordinaire Pluto. Pluto our former 9th planet is now classified to be a dwarf planet.

yProportionally in this photo you can see why Pluto's planet status was revoked. It has more going on it than our moon but it's definitely smaller than our moon. It is believe that Charon once considered Pluto's moon is actually believed to have it's own mini-planetary system going on with Pluto. Does that make it a dwarf system? There is no clear evidence of that system but it is on the modern front of astronomy. Hydra and Nix though are two moons of Pluto though obviously these moons are quite small they still have affects on Pluto. Pluto's average temperature is between -235 and -210C.Pluto's atmosphere is made up of mostly of nitrogen and carbon monoxide. Although we have our first space mission on it's way to make a flyby Pluto we do not have any close up photos of it, and we cannot guarantee what the composition of the planet is. Astronomers assume that planet is about 70% rock and 30% liquid, but this is just what astronomers believe, when we land there, if we land there the analysis could be enitrely different.
