Has a main asteroid belt been seen by astronomers?
Yes (since 1801).
Are all asteroids in the main asteroid belt?
No. There are other asteroid belts besides the main asteroid belt in our solar system. Also, there are asteroids outside our solar system.
Which has not actually been seen by astronomers the Main asteroid belt the Oort cloud or the Kuiper belt?
The Oort Cloud has not been directly observed by astronomers, while both the Main Asteroid Belt and the Kuiper Belt have been observed and studied. The Oort Cloud is a theoretical region of icy bodies beyond the Kuiper Belt, and its presence is inferred from the trajectories of some comets.
Have astronomer's seen main asteroid belt?
Yes, astronomers have extensively studied the main asteroid belt, which lies between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. They have observed it using a variety of telescopes and spacecraft, including the Hubble Space Telescope and missions like NASA's Dawn, which explored the dwarf planet Ceres and the asteroid Vesta. These observations have provided valuable insights into the composition, size distribution, and dynamics of the asteroids in this region. The main asteroid belt is well-documented, with thousands of individual asteroids cataloged.
How many asteroid belts are there in the solar system?
There seems to only be one major asteroid belt in our solar system. In-between Mars and Jupiter. Edit: There are technically 4. "The asteroid belt" between Mars and Jupiter, the "Greeks and Trojans" that follow along Jupiter's elliptical, the Kuiper belt, the final one, is quite far out and though it is effected by our Sun's gravity. It is called the Oort field and orbits between 5,000 and 100,000 AU's from our solar system.

What type of asteroid is Abai?
There is no specific asteroid named "Abai" that is widely recognized or recorded in scientific literature. It is possible that "Abai" may refer to a fictional asteroid or a lesser-known one that has not been extensively studied or categorized.
What lies between mars and jupiter-?
Main asteroid beltThe asteroid belt
What belt of these is found between Mars and Jupiter?
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.
