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.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Kuiper Belt is a region of space. The known icy worlds and comets in both regions are much smaller than Earth’s Moon.
