The Kuiper belt can be roughly divided into the "[[Classical Kuiper belt object|classical]]" belt and the [[resonant trans-Neptunian object]]s. Resonances are orbits linked to the orbit of Neptune. The first resonance begins within the orbit of Neptune itself. The classical belt consists of objects having no resonance with Neptune, and extends from roughly 39.4 AU to 47.7 AU. Members of the classical Kuiper belt are c
lassified as alled ''cubewanos''. They are called this because the first one of their kind to be discovered, [[(15760) 1992 QB1|(15760) 1992 QB<sub>1</sub>]], was called QB<sub>1</sub> for short. The orbits of cubewanos are still very circular.

Eris (68 AU) is the largest known scattered disc object. There has been a debate on weather or not it should be described as a planet. This is because it is 25% more larger and about the same diameter of Pluto. It is the largest known dwarf planet in the Solar System. It has one moon, [[Dysnomia]]. Eris and Pluto have a similar orbit.
