Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Cosmic Doughnut. The Kuiper Belt is a doughnut-shaped ring of icy objects around the Sun, extending just beyond the orbit of Neptune from about 30 to 55 AU.
Detailed explanation-2: -It’s a HUGE region of space beyond Neptune. The Kuiper Belt is one of the largest structures in our solar system-others being the Oort Cloud, the heliosphere and the magnetosphere of Jupiter. Its overall shape is like a puffed-up disk, or donut.
Detailed explanation-3: -Because their orbits don’t come close to Neptune’s distance from the Sun ( 30 AU), detached objects seem unlikely to have been pulled out of the Kuiper Belt by interactions with the giant planet.
