Asteroids are found all over the solar system. The vast majority is located in the asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.

It's amazing how scientists come up with these names!
That part of the solar system is between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.

Where does asteroids happen?
asteroids are in space. in our solar system they are located in the asteroid belt. this a location roughly between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter
Where do most asteroids exist?
Most of the asteroids in our Solar system are located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. It is referred to as the Asteroid belt. See the related link for more information.
How do we know about outer space-beyond our solar system?
-Stars -Asteroids -planets And everything else in space.
What is part of our solar system comets or asteroids or both?
Comets are often thought of as visitors from other solar systems. Solitary travelers in space. Asteroids can and do exist as "belts" and are usually found in groups that can orbit a central sun very much like planets. Composition can be very different for both objects. Both follow prescribed orbits, hence we are able to predict/know the returning date for Haley's Comet. Am not familiar with any data about asteroids with orbits as far reaching as comets. Because comets follow a predicted orbit, and visit our solar system at regular times, they could be considered part of our solar system the same way as band of asteroids. However, comets can and do leave our solar system and pass through others, so they are more visitor than permanent part of our solar system.

Where in space are centaurs found?
Centaurs are minor solar system bodies similar to asteroids or comets that orbit among the outer planets, often crossing their orbits.
Is an asteroid remains of the formation of the solar system?
No, asteroids are simply space junk bound together.
What are the five members of the solar system?
Star (Sun), Planets, Moons, Asteroids, Space dust/junk
How do you define the system?
The solar system is the region of space that is within the gravitational field of the Sun consisting of planets, satellites, asteroids, and comets.
What is the difference between earth and universe?
simply,the difference is that earth is a planet in the solar system and the universe is the entire infinite space containing the solar system,stars, asteroids ,black holes and all that space has to offer.
Where is the location of the asteroids?
There are three main clusterings of asteroids in our solar system: the Asteroid Belt, the first one identified, which is composed mostly of rocky asteroids, the Kuiper Belt, which contains several dwarf planets, and many icy asteroids, and the Oort Cloud, a theoretical halo of sorts surrounding our solar system, comprised mainly of comets and icy asteroids.
What is the Solar system's space filled with?
Basically absence... also comets, meteors, asteroids, planets, moons, satellites, shuttles and space stations, planets and moons.
Where do most asteroids exist?
Most of the asteroids in our Solar system are located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. It is referred to as the Asteroid belt. See the related link for more information.
What two bodies make up the solar system?
Physical mass (of the sun and the planets, plus asteroids, etc.) plus space.
What objects in our solar system?
The Sun, moons , planets, asteroids, comets, meteoroids, dust, gases are all in our solar system. There are also man made objects floating around such as satellites and space probes.
