The Kuiper belt is a region of the Solar System beyond the planets extending from the orbit of Neptune. Like the asteroid belt, it consists mainly of small bodies (remnants from the Solar System's formation) and at least one dwarf planet : Pluto. Orbits of planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are represented.
