- Опубликовано: 26 июн 2024
- The Kuiper Belt is one of the most distant objects in the solar system, but although our astronomical observation technologies have improved dramatically during the last decades, we are still not able to observe all the objects in this distant region of the solar system, is for this reason why the Kuiper Belt is one of the most mysterious places and in this video, we will show you ten impressive things you should know about the Kuiper Belt.
11. Does not contain any asteroids
When talking about the Kuiper belt, it is usually described as an asteroid belt similar to the one between Mars and Jupiter but located beyond Neptune.
10. It is larger than the asteroid belt
Although our telescopes do not allow us to see all of the KBOs, thanks to data collected by the Minor Planet Center of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, we know that the number of KBOs can be up to 200 times more massive than the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
9. The Kuiper Ice
As we said in point 1, KBOs cannot be classified as asteroids since they are located outside the asteroid belt. Still, in addition to not being in the exact location, Kuiper belt objects have another difference concerning asteroids.
8. Neptune, the orchestra director
Although the distances between the planets in the solar system are vast, the gravity of giant planets such as Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune can influence each other and generate something called "Orbital Resonance."
7 . It's huge!
The central yellow dot is the Sun, the red dots with letters are the planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, and the disk with blue and orange dots are the KBOs known to date
6. Uncertain origin
Just as the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter has an uncertain origin, the Kuiper belt has a, until now, unknown origin.

Hey Guys! Here " other 10 facts about the Kuiper Belt, Don't Miss it To know Everything ruclips.net/video/QTmneEUjA30/видео.html
Do a video comparing the Kuiper Belt and the Oort Cloud.
Should be easy. We know a little about the Kuiper Belt, but nothing about the Oort Cloud.
Don't hold your breath waiting for the narrator to respond.
Oort belt is hypothetical… no more than empty space with some ice cube. It could be the home of some comets. But it’s not formally confirmed
@@olivierbouchez9150 Totally agree. For some reason, many people think the Oort Cloud is like a big bowl of Raisin Brand where you see everything cluttered together. Nothing is further from the truth!
@@olivierbouchez9150not exactly hypothetical, it’s where comets originate. We can fairly easily tell the difference between an object from the Oort Cloud and a interstellar object by looking at its orbit, trajectory and speed. The Oort Cloud exist, we know what it’s composed of and very roughly how dense it is and how many objects it contains. People just have to understand that it’s not really a cloud, it’s a region, a very very vast and distant region.
Take for example the voyager probes, it took them 12 years to reach the Kuiper Belt(by distance travelled) and left it a couple years later. How long will it take them to reach and traverse the Oort Cloud? It will arrive in the outer edges in around 300 years and will leave it in about *30,000* years. The Oort Cloud region is considered so vast that it is speculated that it’s overlapping with the Oort Cloud of Alpha Centauri(now that one is hypothetical).
Basically it’s like this, if there isn’t a Oort Cloud, how do you explain comets? Just because its existence is inferred instead of observed doesn’t make it hypothetical imho.
Excuse me, is this the comet section? 🤔
Not sure why so many people accept that the asteroid belt is fully known. We are still finding new moons around Jupiter and Saturn and new asteroids in the solar system so the idea that we have any thing as wide spread as the asteroid belt fully “mapped” is a bit silly.
@4:07 I think you MIXED UP the orbital resonances. 2:3 resonance means Neptune completes 3 orbits while the other orbits 2 times. The same with 1:2 resonance - 2 orbits of Neptune for 1 orbit of a KBO. NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. Common sense since Neptune is usually closer to the Sun than Pluto and KBOs so it is faster in general. Kindly check your facts first. I am getting tired of your errors since you created your channel.
chill
this is something you can easily do on Neptune
The average distance between Kuiper belt objects (larger then 100 meters or 300 feet in diameter) is around 1 AU (the distance between the Sun and Earth). The artist impression that is being used therefore gives a completely wrong impression. Problem is that almost all artist impressions make this mistake.
You dont need a telescope to love but the freedoms they gave us was outstanding
Currently it still takes 10 years to reach the Kuiper belt and some 6.5 years to traverse it successfully.
If RUclips is still a thing in 284 years, they may have a laugh over that comment.
@@patrickjolly1923 Voyager 1 travels at 3.1 AU/year, and the distance to the Kuiper belt is 30 AU.
Do you need a pocket calculator to calculate the time needed to reach the belt?
The Parker Probe Can Get There In 264 days..
@@SmokeTvUncut It travels at 40 AU/year, I see.
Yanping Guo, the Parker Solar Probe mission design and navigation manager, told NBC News MACH in an email. “The probe will go so fast as it falls towards the sun in its elliptical orbit and is thus accelerated by the sun’s huge gravity.”
I am certain that you missed the entire point of what I said. At no point was I doubting your information. Rather pointing out that in 284 years, technology will advance to the point of laughing at our feeble (from their perspective) accomplishments.
#1 Fact: All these depictions of rocks being close together, crashing into each other is a bunch of Bravo Sierra!
The truth of the matter is that the Kuiper Belt is so large and spread out, that the meteors are actually millions of miles apart.
To quote Douglas Adams, space is big. In the tremendous open spaces of just our own solar system, there is so much still left to discover! It's a fascinating cosmos we live in. Thank you guys for another interesting video.
God be with you out there everybody. ✝️ :)
Only problem i have is single astroid is thousands of miles apart but we are shown like attached to each other 😂
Really cool!
1:00 Asteroid outside the "Asteroid Belt"? Pardon me, a small fraction of asteroids have been found outside the belt, and a few are even near-earth asteroids.
2:20 200 times the mass of the Asteroid Belt. Suppose 15 times the radius and 15 times the spread. That's about 225 times the area, so 200 times implies a similar density.
An asteroid doesn't have to come from the asteroid belt to be classified as an asteroid. At least according to astrophysicists.
They didn't explain that very well
yeah, the video was factually wrong about that.
@@nboss968 it's wrong. there is no "explanation" for it. It's factually wrong.
Great video and information !
This whole video can be summed up by saying "Hey did you know there's a lot of shit in space"
no shit, really?
There is trillions of dollars of gold, copper, platinum, iron, silver ……….and every other elements that you can think of it’s a mineral minors dream come true, so pack your chuckwagon spaceships 🚀 and let’s get to mining.
Churchill liked to say KBO
So does every solar system have a Kuiper Belt?
❤
2:00 Is the density of the Kuiper Belt the same as the Asteroid Belt?
👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Asteroids are still in the Kuiper Belts even if they come under the term Kuiper Belt objects.
There are exactly zero facts I need to know about the Kuiper belt. I do however WANT to know all of them.
ive watched all fast and the furious movies; i can drive there in 3 hours.
My logic is undeniable
Keplers creator of all things good. But who does better?
I NEED to know? No there is nothing I NEED to know about it.
Opinions are of no consequence.
You've got to add English units. Converting units every time is exhausting.
Pluto is the 9th planet
i wish
BRB (fixing my belt)
How about inner astroid belt and outer astroid belt ?
The Kuiper Belt in no way looks like how it's shown here.
so the kuyper belt seems like those gambling coin machines with the robot arms that cyclically push a pile of coins near the edge but if we wait millions of years occasionally a coin will fall out 🙂i guess it's not as exciting because no one is adding new coins hoping for jackpot avalanche
Orbital risidents like something to eat or put in your mouth that feels good to own
Does the Kuiper belt have its own gravity?
Everything with mass has its own gravity. It takes a lot of mass to affect other things with your gravity though.
Your cells have gravity.
Stable but not all knowing yet
Where does it come to? 100 trillion in stable stems of the future
Billions hold the hand of its always better with money.
4. Nah. Pluto got demoted, and if we find planets outside the orbit if Pluto, just redefine a planet as "outside of Neptune" and automatically demote any New Mars planets too.
What if humanity's last home is the kuiper belt, living in millions of artifical planets each with their own sun?
I'd prefer the moons around the gas giants that contains water and oxygen. Ganymedes, Europa, Titan, Enceladus and Triton will be the most attractive places to live on. Second, the other moons.
@@johanliljegren4759 but those gas giants exert massive amount of radiations toward the moons
@@ZenStrive52 The idea is to use some sort of radiation suit in order to counter that magnet field.
this was a great video. But I have 2 questions. How the heck did voyager 1 and voyager 2 make its way to the other side of the this belt without crashing into something? After all we did not know it was even present until the early 1990's.
Why does the belt have so many rocks/ice on the elliptical orbit and less more above/below that orbit.
Answer to your first question, Stuff in space is really more spaced out that what we see when artists represents "asteroid fields".
It Still had to get through the Asteroid Belt (not mapped) Jupiter's Moons (not all found) Saturn's Moons (not all found) and the Kuiper Belt.
It still feels lucky when you don't know about millions of rocks. Once you know it's there it's a lot easier to miss things but to drive blind......you wouldn't like the blind odds as much.
Saga got your 1st question right. The 2nd one is that it's like the rest of the solar system... Must of it formed on the E. Plane when the system formed. Then over the billions of years a small amount got into orbits above and below the plane.
Voyager 1 left Saturn at a 35 degree angle from the plane of the solar system. I don’t think it ever flew through Kuiper Belt. Voyager 2 left Neptune at 79 degree inclination. So it probably missed it too.
Even if you traverse the solar system from one end to the other along the plane, it's basically impossible to hit anything. Our common representations of the solar system vastly underrepresent how spaced out everything is. The solar system is mostly empty space with even the planets and the sun only representing tiny specs of mass in a vast amount of space.
Remnants of successive solar novæ, soon to be added to. 🖐🏻
the resonance has objects farther from the sun than neptune can complete 2 or 3 orbits in the time it takes neptune to make one orbit? but wouldn't objects farther away tend to complete fewer orbits than something closer? i thought the closer to the sun the shorter their years
I'm pretty sure the video confuses this and it's actually the other way around.
Why KBL’s and not KBO?
When our sun heats up and increases in size, in how ever many millions of years that it takes for that to occur, will that create enough heat to impact the Kuiper belt?
Millions? More like 5-6 billion.
Ice is something better and harnesses power for later. Bmw
Lust over what we can repair together forever.
So why are the objects that share Jupiter's orbit called the Trojan asteroids? They aren't in the asteroid belt.
The video is wrong.
Stop showing image of nearby stone or rock. It’s completely a wrong image. The belt is mainly empty with object distant with billion of km. More than the distance earth to sun between objects. So the “sci-fi” image of a difficult area to cross is completely false. There is no more than quasi empty space with occasionally a big stone.
Nice, you read wikipedia and made a channel
The speed of light changes because the measures of time and distance change.
Pluto is the 9th planet and planet x is the 10th planet....
(😮Again!!😢) The Comet you mispronounced is called '_Halley's_ Comet' and was named after the
🔭astronomer Sir Edmond Halley.🏴 ...
(_NOT_ "Hailey's Comet"😮) 😠😡
How large is the biggest Kuiper Belt Object? Bigger than Earth?
No. The largest known onj3ct, so far, in the Kuiper Belt is Pluto. Eris is a close second.
The first thing you need to know about the Kuiper belt is how to pronounce Gerard Kuiper's name correctly.
This is clickbait. You only really need to know 7 of these facts. The other 4 are nice to know but aren't necessary!
Do a video of how the US sabotaged Mexico's mini robot exploration of the moon..
This is why we have to toss out everything that is in our fictional Bible about the origins of Life The Universe And Everything.the answer to that is 42 It just didn't happen in 6 days.
Why do you have to throw out the Bible if the world wasn't created in six days?
@@Numba003 It's not fact it's fiction.
@@keithlewis4250 So if the Earth was not created in six literal days, you're saying that you think the entire Bible is fiction?
@@Numba003 If you believe that 2,500 year old garbage then you're not living in todays world.
1:36-1:39
Telescops? Come on, man. Clearly it seems that you're using AI
The way they label objects in space is the ridiculous. Imagine if everything was like that. Its an asteroid if the object is over here but its a KBO if its over there. So objects can morph into other objects like magic. Imagine you have a dog. But on your walk you cross the street where the dog is now a cat. Whoever came up with this nonsense must be the village idiot of cosmology. Imagine an asteroid orbiting right on the line where it becomes a comet. No wonder they cant figure out what Omau Omau is.
11 facts or 11 fictions we still don't know fro sure whitch is whitch.
I really wish people who make supposedly educational videos would not grossly and flagrantly misrepresent the nature of the asteroid belt(s) with images such that you have provided here. Even in the most dense regions of the belt, the distance between "adjacent" asteroids is of the order of 1,000,000 km. Please stop this nonsense.
two errors in the first minute, stopped watching
one way to improve your videos is to stop making them
Please change the voice over. It is terrible honestly. Just hire a narrator
