Where are most of the asteroids in the solar system located?
A
Asteroid Belt
B
Orion’s Belt
C
Gemini Area
D
None of the above
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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Asteroids are concentrated in the asteroid belt because of orbital resonances between asteroids and Jupiter.

Detailed explanation-3: -Belt composition. Most of the asteroids in the main belt are made of rock and stone, but a small portion of them contain iron and nickel metals. The remaining asteroids are made up of a mix of these, along with carbon-rich materials. Some of the more distant asteroids tend to contain more ices.

Detailed explanation-4: -Asteroids are small, rocky objects that orbit the sun. Although asteroids orbit the sun like planets, they are much smaller than planets. There are lots of asteroids in our solar system. Most of them live in the main asteroid belt-a region between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.

Detailed explanation-5: -The name of the asteroid belt is the asteroid belt, although sometimes it is called the inner asteroid belt, the main asteroid belt, or simply the main belt. The name of the asteroid belt is more of a description of what it is, rather than a proper name, like the ones given to the Kuiper belt or the Oort cloud.
