This picture shows the region of space where the Kuiper Belt is. In this picture, the observer is looking down on the solar system from above. The picture shows a region from the sun to 120 AU. The earth is so close to the center of the drawing that it does not show up.
This region is sometimes called "trans-Neptunian space" because even the planet Pluto could really be part of the Kuiper Belt.
