The Kuiper belt is an area in the solar system that is located beyond the major planets. It extends from the orbit of the planet Neptune to the Sun. It is the home of three known dwarf planets namely the pluto, makemake and the haumea. It mainly consists of small bodies which are said to be remnants from the formation of the solar system. It contains thousands of objects. Several substances were also been detected in this region such as light hydrocarbons ( methane, ethane) , ammonia and iced water. Also, it was found that this region of the universe has a color ranging from gray to red.
