Question

What is the difference between the objects in asteroid belt and those in Kuiper belt? I will mark correct answers as brainiest.

Answer 1

Like the asteroid belt, kuiper belt consists mainly of small bodies or remnants from when the Solar System formed. While many asteroids are composed primarily of rock and metal, most Kuiper belt objects are composed largely of frozen volatiles (termed "ices"), such as methane, ammonia and water.

Answer 2

Answer:

There are several differences between the asteroid belt and the Kuiper Belt:

• Distance: this is the most obvious one, the asteroid belt is located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter (so between 249 million and 740 million km from the Sun) whilst the kuiper belt stretched from 30 to 55 AU or around 4.5 billion km to 8.2 billion km.
• Size: the kuiper belt is estimated to be around 20x as wide and 200x as massive as the asteroid belt. The asteroid belt itself is estimated be be about 4% the mass of the moon.
• Temperature: the kuiper belt, being beyond the orbit of Neptune, is very frigid in temperature being only about 50 degrees above absolute zero (-223 °C). The asteroid belt itself is around -73 °C and -108 °C.
