Which of the following statements is FALSE?

The Kuiper Belt is a region of the Solar System beyond the planetary region, extending from the orbit of Neptune (at 30 AU) to approximately 50 AU from the Sun.

The Kuiper Belt consists mainly of small bodies, or remnants from the Solar System's formation.

The classical belt is home to at least many dwarf planets. For example: Pluto, Eris, Haumea, and Makemake.

The Kuiper Belt is a hypothesized spherical cloud of comets which may extend out to roughly 50,000 AU, or nearly a light-year, from the Sun.

Which of the following statements is FALSE?

A comet is an icy small Solar System body that, when passing close to the Sun, heats up and begins to outgas, displaying a visible atmosphere or coma, and sometimes also a tail. These phenomena are due to the effects of solar radiation and the solar wind upon the nucleus of the comet.

The origin of comets is not well known because they form at great distances from the Sun.

Comets are composed of frozen gases and rocky, metallic materials. The frozen gases vaporize when near the Sun, which produces a glowing head called the coma.

In the late 1970s, following the discovery of comets in the outer Solar System and the recognition of their relatively low mass, their status as major planets began to be questioned.
