What Does KBO Stand For?

KBO stands for Kuiper Belt Object

KBO, or Kuiper Belt Object, refers to any celestial body located in the Kuiper Belt, a region of the solar system beyond the orbit of Neptune, populated with small icy bodies. KBOs are primarily composed of frozen volatiles and include dwarf planets, such as Pluto and Eris, as well as other small celestial bodies ranging in size from a few kilometers to several hundred kilometers in diameter. These objects are of significant interest to astronomers and planetary scientists as they provide insight into the early solar system's formation and evolution.
