Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The asteroid belt is a torus-shaped region in the Solar System, centered on the Sun and roughly spanning the space between the orbits of the planets Jupiter and Mars.
Detailed explanation-2: -In the region between Mars and Jupiter, it appears that one or more planets could have formed, but the gravity from Jupiter kept pulling things apart. Instead of forming a single planet, the material in this region was only ever able to form into asteroid-sized objects.
Detailed explanation-3: -The asteroid belt is a region of space between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter where most of the asteroids in our Solar System are found orbiting the Sun. The asteroid belt probably contains millions of asteroids.
