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.
