koid
Koid is a term used in the field of astrophysics to describe a small, icy body that orbits the Sun. These objects are typically found in the outer regions of the Solar System, beyond the orbit of Neptune. Koids are believed to be remnants from the early Solar System, and their study provides valuable insights into the formation and evolution of planetary systems.
The term "koid" is a portmanteau of "Kuiper" and "oid," named after the Dutch-American astronomer Gerard Kuiper,
Koids vary in size, with some being as small as a few kilometers in diameter, while others
The study of koids is an active area of research in astrophysics. Scientists use telescopes and spacecraft
