Answer 1

J. Classical KBOs, Resonant KBOs, Scattered Disk Objects k. Detached objects are found in the outer solar system beyond the Kuiper Belt. 1. Gravitational interactions with giant planets. m. Pluto n. 3:2 resonance preventing collision. o. Systems of two objects orbiting a common center of mass. 9. Main asteroid belt p. Two lobes connected by a narrow neck.

Answer 2

J. Types of Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs) are categorized based on their orbits: - **Classical KBOs**: These objects have nearly circular orbits and are not influenced by Neptune's gravity. - **Resonant KBOs**: These objects are in orbital resonance with Neptune, meaning their orbits are influenced by Neptune's gravity. - **Scattered Disk Objects**: These have highly eccentric and inclined orbits, often influenced by Neptune's gravity. k. **Detached objects** are found in the outer regions of the solar system, beyond the Kuiper Belt. They are found there because they have orbits that are not significantly influenced by the gravitational pull of the giant planets. 1. **Removal of Centaurs**: Centaurs are removed from the solar system primarily through gravitational interactions with the giant planets, leading them to either be ejected from the solar system or to collide with a planet or the Sun. m. The "King of the Kuiper Belt" is **Pluto** due to its size and historical significance as the first discovered KBO. n. **Pluto and Neptune's orbit**: Pluto and Neptune are in a 3:2 resonance, meaning Pluto orbits the Sun twice for every three orbits of Neptune. This resonance prevents them from colliding despite their crossing orbits. o. **Binary objects**: These are systems where two objects of comparable size orbit around a common center of mass. 9. Most asteroids that come near Earth used to be part of the **main asteroid belt** between Mars and Jupiter. p. **Arrokoth**: Arrokoth is a contact binary object with a shape resembling two lobes connected by a narrow neck, indicating it formed from two objects that gently collided and stuck together.
