Classical Kuiper belt object

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A classical Kuiper Belt object or cubewano is a object in the Kuiper Belt not in orbital resonance with another planet.[1]

Currently there are two cubewanos that are classified as dwarf planets: Makemake and Quaoar.
