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: -Some asteroids are dotted across the solar system, but most of them are marshalled into a ring between the planets of Mars and Jupiter. This is because Jupiter is humongous and has a big gravitational pull on all the other objects in the solar system.
Detailed explanation-3: -On this page. Dwarf planet Ceres is the largest object in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, and it’s the only dwarf planet located in the inner solar system. It was the first member of the asteroid belt to be discovered when Giuseppe Piazzi spotted it in 1801.
