No. Asteroids are scattered throughout the solar system in various orbits, some of which are relatively stable. Some have orbits that pass near Earth. But the vast preponderance of large asteroids are in the Main Belt between Mars and Jupiter.
The problem with highly elliptical orbits is that the asteroid will be influenced by the major planets, moons, and the Sun. If its orbit is disturbed, it could be trapped by a giant planet or pulled too close to the Sun. Over the life of the solar system, many small asteroids have been either pulled into the Sun or ejected from the inner solar system by the gravity fields there.
No. Most asteroids in the solar system are in the asteroid belt, but not all. The ones that may threaten to strike earth, for example, are outside the asteroid belt.

yes
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.
No. There are other asteroid belts besides the main asteroid belt in our solar system. Also, there are asteroids outside our solar system.

There are no planets in the asteroid belt. Neptune's orbit is farther from the sun than practically all asteroids are.
No planet ever existed where the asteroid belt is. The mass is insufficient for a planet to have formed from all that debris.
The asteroid belt is in between Mars and Jupiter.
Venus is not in any asteroid belt.
The asteroid belt is not in Jupiter.
Inner.
the Asteroid belt has no satelites all the asteroids that make up the belt is another asteroids satelite so there would be thousands of satelites

The planet Jupiter is outside the asteroid belt, which is located in between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
