Kuiper Belt Presentation
Transcript: The circumference is 314 AU or 29,202,066,863 miles, while our Earth's is 0.00026787998 AU or 24,901 miles. Even though it is vastly spread out, the entire Kuiper Belt is estimated to only have a mass equivalent to 1/13 of earth. Even though we have no solid scientific evidence the most popular theory of the composition of asteroids in the Kuiper belt is shown here. On average any object in the Kuiper belt can take up to 200 years to complete a solar orbit, but the longest orbit takes 11,400 years! Facts: http://pluto.jhuapl.edu/Participate/learn/What-We-Know.php?link=The-Kuiper-Belt How it looks from different POVs http://pics-about.space/looking-sad-pluto-planet?p=3 The Kuiper Belt contains 5 dwarf planets: 1 Kuiper Belt From it's orbit you can see every planet in our solar system and, depending where you are, you could see Pluto, which is inside the kuiper belt! The Kuiper Belt is just beyond Neptune's orbit Thank you! Composition Distance Location Pluto Eris Haumea Makemake Ceres https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuiper_belt The End! Bibliography From Earth you can't see the Kuiper belt, due to the density of our atmosphere and how far away it is from the sun .

Distance from the Sun: 2.5 to 4.5 billion miles 4 billion to 7.2 billion km 30 to 50 AU The Dwarf Planet Haumea is shaped like a football because of it's absurdly fast rotation speed. http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v468/n7325/fig_tab/468775a_F1.html The ice in the Kuiper Belt dates back to the formation of the solar system. http://scienceblogs.com/startswithabang/2013/10/17/the-unlikely-king-of-the-kuiper-belt/ Yay!
