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: -M-type (metal-rich) asteroids are typically found in the middle of the main belt, and they make up much of the remainder of the total population. Their spectra resemble that of iron-nickel.
Detailed explanation-3: -Mars has a dense core at its center between 930 and 1, 300 miles (1, 500 to 2, 100 kilometers) in radius. It’s made of iron, nickel, and sulfur.
