Detailed explanation-1: -Main Asteroid Belt: The majority of known asteroids orbit within the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, generally with not very elongated orbits. The belt is estimated to contain between 1.1 and 1.9 million asteroids larger than 1 kilometer (0.6 miles) in diameter, and millions of smaller ones.
Detailed explanation-2: -Origin and Evolution of Asteroids Asteroids are concentrated in the asteroid belt because of orbital resonances between asteroids and Jupiter.
Detailed explanation-3: -The asteroid belt is a region of space between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. This is where most of the asteroids in our solar system are found orbiting the Sun. The gravitational force due to Jupiter’s mass prevents the asteroids from escaping the belt.
