Detailed explanation-1: -Astronomers think the icy objects of the Kuiper Belt are remnants left over from the formation of the solar system. Similar to the relationship between the main asteroid belt and Jupiter, it’s a region of objects that might have come together to form a planet had Neptune not been there.
Detailed explanation-2: -It’s one of the places where comets come from. The Kuiper Belt is a source of comets, as it very slowly erodes itself away. Pieces produced by colliding KBOs can be pushed by Neptune’s gravity into orbits that send them sunward, where Jupiter’s gravity further corrals them into short loops lasting 20 years or less.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Oort Cloud is the most distant region of our solar system. Even the nearest objects in the Oort Cloud are thought to be many times farther from the Sun than the outer reaches of the Kuiper Belt.
