Explanation:

First Question (Planet that orbits a star other than the sun)

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Dwarf Planet: A celestial body that orbits the sun, not other stars.
• Extrasolar Planet: Defined as a planet orbiting a star other than the sun.
• Asteroid Belt: A region with asteroids, not a planet.
• Meteor: A small celestial body entering Earth's atmosphere, not a planet orbiting another star.

Analyzing options:

• Kuiper Belt: Beyond Neptune, not between inner and outer planets.
• Asteroid: A single celestial body, not a region separating planets.
• Asteroid Belt: The region between Mars (inner) and Jupiter (outer) that separates inner and outer planets.
• Oort Cloud: A distant spherical cloud of icy bodies, not between inner and outer planets.

Answer:

B. Extrasolar Planet

Second Question (Separates the inner planets from the outer planets)
