This NASA website provides information about the group of short-period comets in the Kuiper Belt. The article compares the sizes and composition of these objects to Earth and Pluto. Telescopic images and artists' conceptions illustrate the site. There is a link to a kid's page that has information over the same subject but more appropriate for children.
