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: -The asteroid belt is a ring-shaped region in the solar system, located roughly between the orbits of the planets Jupiter and Mars.
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.
