Answer:
Options (B), (D) and (E)
Explanation:
The Kuiper Belt is the large circular belt that is present outside the orbit of Neptune and is comprised of astronomical objects that are mainly comprised of ice, rock debris and gases.
It has a thickness of about 10 AU (Astronomical Unit) and is largely composed of objects of variable sizes. These objects comprising ice are about a few meters to more than hundreds of meters in terms of diameters. These objects move around the sun in a defined orbit, and when it enters the inner terrestrial planets and the asteroid belt, then it forms a tail that is formed due to the melting of the ice particles as it moves at great speed in space and in a planet's atmosphere.
Thus, the correct answers are options (B), (D) and (E).
Answer:
- a. Larger than Terrestrial planets
- d. Composed of ice and rock
- e. Similar orbits
Explanation:
- The Kuiper belt is a circumstantial belt or disk that is found in the outer solar system and it extends for the orbit of the Neptune and boiling similar to the asteroid belts and but its 20 times large and is 20 to 200 times wide and consists of the remnants of the solar system.
- And is primarily composed of the rocks and metals and the large ice such a the methane and ammonia and water.
