The largest body in the asteroid belt is Ceres, with a diameter of about 950 km. Although it has long been considered to be an asteroid, Ceres was classified as a "dwarf planet" on August 24, 2006. (The other dwarf planets are Pluto, Makemake, Haumea, and Eris.) The issue of whether Ceres remains an asteroid was not addressed at that time.
Ceres and Vesta.
Ceres is a Dwarf planet (as it is just about massive enough to form an approximate spherical shape). It is around 975km in diameter.
Vesta is an asteroid that is thought to be a remnant protoplanet with a mean diameter of about 530 km, although it is a lot more irregular in shape and so is classified as a 'small solar system object'.
the largest asteroid in the solar system is Ceres
Ceres
Mercury is not a part of the asteroid belt. The asteroid belt is located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Mercury is far closer to the sun.
The largest asteroid is far smaller the Pluto. The largest asteroid in our solar system is Ceres, with a diameter of about 900 kilometers. Pluto has a diameter of about 2,300 kilometers.
asteroid belt and kipter belt.
No. An asteroid can be anything from 10 metres to 487km as in the case of Ceres the largest asteroid.
We call that the "asteroid belt".
The largest asteroid, Ceres, is in the asteroid belt.
Ceres is the only round asteroid and the largest asteroid in the asteroid belt.
Ceres is the largest object in the asteroid belt.
No. The largest object in the asteroid belt is Ceres. Ida is much smaller.
Asteroids. There are many thousand in the Main Belt that occupies an empty orbit between Mars and Jupiter. The largest asteroid, Ceres, has been classified as a "dwarf planet" and contains about 1/3 of the total mass of asteroids in the Main Belt.

The largest asteroid is CERES, in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.It is 580 miles (930 km) in diameter , about the size of Texas.It accounts for about 32% of the total mass of the belt.
There is a "dwarf planet", Ceres, the largest object in the Asteroid Belt, and a great number of smaller rocks. (Prior to its reclassification, Ceres was referred to as the largest asteroid.)
the largest asteroid ever found" The largest asteroid is CERES, in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. It is 580 miles (930 km) in diameter , about the size of Texas. It accounts for about 25% of the total mass of the belt.
The main asteroid belt is actually called the asteroid belt - pretty dull really.
Mars is not in the asteroid belt. The Asteroid Belt is between Mars and Jupiter.
That's right; Ceres is the largest asteroid.
