Kuiper belt Object (KBO) - A small body made of ice and rock that orbits beyond Neptune's orbit, in the Kuiper Belt. Exoplanet - a planet that orbits a star outside the solar system dwarf planet - Pluto (has 5 moons in KBO) Eris (has 5 moons) Ceres (in asteroid belt) asteroid belt - the region of the solar system between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, where many asteroids are found Kuiper belt - A region of the solar system that is just beyond the orbit of Neptune and that contains sm...

Natural Event Geological or atmospheric processes involving the release of energy and has nothing to do with people. Geological is due to the hot interior of the Earth and can be expressed as volcanoes. Atmospheric type of energy is the product of solar energy which can be expressed as tornadoes.
