Most cubewanos are found between the 2:3 [[orbital resonance]] with Neptune (populated by [[plutino]]s) and the 1:2 resonance. [[50000 Quaoar]], for example, has a near-circular orbit close to the [[ecliptic]]. Plutinos, on the other hand, have more eccentric orbits bringing some of them closer to the Sun than [[Neptune]].

The majority of classical objects, the so-called ''cold population'', have low inclinations (<&thinsp;5[[Degree (angle)|°]]) and near-circular orbits, lying between 42 and 47&nbsp;AU. A smaller population (the ''hot population'') is characterised by highly inclined, more eccentric orbits.<ref name="JewittDelsanti2006">{{cite book |last1=Jewitt |first1=D. |author1-link=David Jewitt |last2=Delsanti |first2=A. |year=2006 |chapter=The Solar System Beyond The Planets |title=Solar System Update : Topical and Timely Reviews in Solar System Sciences |publisher=[[Springer (publisher)|Springer]]-[[Praxis Publishing|Praxis]] |chapter-url=http://www2.ess.ucla.edu/~jewitt/papers/2006/DJ06.pdf |isbn=978-3-540-26056-1 |url=http://www.ifa.hawaii.edu/faculty/jewitt/papers/2006/DJ06.pdf |access-date=March 2, 2006 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070129151907/http://www.ifa.hawaii.edu/faculty/jewitt/papers/2006/DJ06.pdf |archive-date=2007-01-29 |df=dmy-all |url-status=dead}})</ref> The terms 'hot' and 'cold' has nothing to do with surface or internal temperatures, but rather refer to the orbits of the objects, by analogy to molecules in a gas, which increase their relative velocity as they heat up.<ref name="Levison2003">{{cite journal |last1=Levison |first1=Harold F. |last2=Morbidelli |first2=Alessandro |date=2003 |title=The formation of the Kuiper belt by the outward transport of bodies during Neptune's migration |journal=[[Nature (journal)|Nature]] |volume=426 |issue=6965 |pages=419–421 |doi=10.1038/nature02120 |pmid=14647375 |bibcode=2003Natur.426..419L|s2cid=4395099 }}</ref>
