Each individual member of the asteroid 'belt'
is in its own elliptical orbit around the sun.
Yes. Ceres is the only dwarf planet located in the asteroid belt.
It is not inside of the Asteroid Belt in the sense of being part of it. In terms of the order of orbits from the Sun, Mars is inside the orbit of the Asteroid Belt and Jupiter's orbit is outside the orbit of the Asteroid Belt.
no...asteroids....
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
there is no up and down in space. there is an asteroid belt in between mars and jupiter. the big band formed the planets.
The asteroid belt is part of the Solar System, if that's what you mean.
The largest object in the asteroid belt is Ceres at about 580 miles across. It is classified as a dwarf planet rather than an asteroid.
The asteroid belt separates the inner and outer planets [See related question], however, the ice or frost line [See related question} is the crucial reason for the differences in structure and composition.
Oh, dude, if Ceres were to peace out from the asteroid belt, the mass of the belt would decrease by about 33%. Yeah, like, Ceres makes up roughly a third of the total mass of the asteroid belt, so if it ghosted, that's a big chunk gone. But hey, asteroids gotta do what asteroids gotta do, right?
yes
Probably another planet that was there, but got smashed up by impact
Considering the Asteroid Belt is made up of Dwarf Planets, asteroids, pebbles, grains and dust, it's difficult to be precise. As a combination, the best answer would be anywhere from grey to black.
