Explanation:
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. Asteroids with orbital periods that are a simple ratio of Jupiter’s 12-year orbital period experience the same gravitational nudge on a regular basis.
