Beyond the orbit of Neptune lies the Kuiper Belt, a region of icy bodies and dwarf planets that extends for billions of kilometers beyond the orbit of Pluto. Within the Kuiper Belt, scientists have discovered thousands of small objects, including Pluto, Eris, and Haumea, which are classified as dwarf planets due to their size and composition.
In addition to planets and dwarf planets, the solar system is also home to a multitude of moons, asteroids, comets, and other smaller objects. These celestial bodies play a crucial role in shaping the structure and dynamics of the solar system, from sculpting planetary surfaces to influencing the orbits of planets and moons.
