GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

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 found between Mars and Jupiter. The large majority of known asteroids orbit in the asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. or are co-orbital with Jupiter.

Detailed explanation-3: -Yes, Mars is relatively close to the asteroid belt, and is the planet closest to it. Mars is about 0.5 AU away from the asteroid belt, or about the same distance it is from the Earth (75 million km, 46 million mi), on average.

Detailed explanation-4: -The asteroid belt is a torus-shaped region in the Solar System, centered on the Sun and roughly spanning the space between the orbits of the planets Jupiter and Mars. It contains a great many solid, irregularly shaped bodies called asteroids or minor planets.
