Most of the asteroids within our solar system can be found within the Asteroid Belt. Located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, the Asteroid Belt consists of millions of individual asteroids of varying sizes - from a speck of dust to hundreds of kilometers in diameter. The largest object within the belt is a dwarf planet - Ceres - which has a mass of 9.47x1020kg and a diameter of 476.2km.

What planets are between the asteroid belt and the sun?
The planets that lie between the sun and the asteroid belt are, in order from the innermost to outermost: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, [asteroid belt], Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.
Why Jupiter Saturn Uranus and Neptune outer planets?
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are considered as outer planets because they lie between the asteroid belt and the throughout space.
How many number of inner planets?
There are 4, all of which lie between the sun and the asteroid belt. These planets are (from lowest distance from the sun to the highest): Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.
Is Mars one of the outer planets because it is located inside asteroid belt?
Mars does not lie within the asteroid belt. It orbits nearer the Sun than the asteroid belt, so is an inner planet. In order from the Sun, the solar bodies or groups are:The Inner Planets: MercuryVenusEarthMarsThe Asteroid Belt and Dwarf Planet CeresThe Outer Planets: JupiterSaturnUranusNeptuneThe Cometary Belt CentaursThe Kuiper Belt Dwarf Planet PlutoDwarf Planet HaumeaDwarf Planet MakemakeThe Scattered Disc Dwarf Planet ErisThe Oort Cloud
Are asteroid lie within the asteroid belt true or false?
why
The four outer planets lie beyond what?
The outer planets lie beyond the asteroid belt.
The outer Planets lie beyond what?
The asteroid belt, which lies beyond the "inner planets".
Planets whose orbits lie closer to the sun than the asteroids?
The asteroid belt is located between Mars and Jupiter. The planets closer to the Sun than the asteroid belt are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.
Where do the dwarf planets lie?
In the Asteroid belt or further out than Uranus.
What planets are between the asteroid belt and the sun?

What planet considers as an outer planet?
The outer planets lie outside the Asteroid Belt. They would be Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
Are asteroid lie within the asteroid belt true or false?
why
Is there an asteroid belt between mars and Jupiter?
The order of the planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. However, Pluto the largest known dwarf planet next to Eris, is no longer considered a planet at all. It is now known as the largest member of a distinct region called the Kuniper Belt. Therefor there are officially only 8 planets in our Solar System. There is a region of the solar system located roughly between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter called the asteroid belt . It is occupied with numerous irregular shaped bodies called asteroids or minor planets. Not to be confused with actual planets. Ceres is the only object in the belt large enough for its gravity to force it into a roughly round shape, and so, according to the IAU's 2006 resolution on the definition of a planet, it is now considered a dwarf planet.
