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 asteroids of the inner Solar System and Jupiter: The belt is located between the orbits of Jupiter and Mars. By far the largest object within the belt is the dwarf planet Ceres. The total mass of the asteroid belt is significantly less than Pluto’s, and roughly twice that of Pluto’s moon Charon.
Detailed explanation-3: -81P/Wild (Wild 2) is a small comet with the shape of a flattened sphere. Comet 9P/Tempel 1 orbits the sun within the asteroid belt, which lies between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
