How far asteroids can go would very much be a matter of definition. Because of their relatively small size and lack of intrinsic luminosity they would be extremely difficult to locate outside the solar system but there is no reason they could not be in interstellar or even intergalactic space. However, whether they would still be considered and categorized as asteroids might be another matter; they might be referred to as rogue planetoids or rogue planetesimals outside the gravitational influence of the Sun (beyond about 50,000 astronomical units distance). Within the solar system they can be everywhere - the bulk of them lie between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter; beyond Jupiter out to the orbit of Neptune they are known as Centaurs, past Neptune they are referred to as Transneptunian. Fewer are in the inner solar system. and may interact gravitationally (and evidence resonance) with the orbits of Venus or Earth for example; some are in very long-period orbits with the Sun - and just to confuse matters further, recent studies indicate based on composition that the properties of comets may blur somewhat with what we currently think of as asteroids.
What else can I help you with?
Are there more asteroids or stars in the solar system?
More asteroids by far. Our solar system contains millions of asteroids but only one star: the sun.

Why we cant see asteroids without telescope?
They are relatively small and far away.
Are there life forms on asteroids?
There is no way to know for certain, but no indication of Earth-type lifeforms has been seen or detected on the asteroids visited by spacecraft so far.
What do comets and asteroids not have in common?
Comets are Comets and Asteroids are Asteroids
Do the moon moon planets or asteroids lie far beyond the milky way?
No. The moon and the planets and asteroids of our solar system are all in our galaxy and only form a tiny part of it. However, there are doubtless other solar systems in galaxies other than out own, each with its own set of planets, moons, and asteroids.

Are asteroids faster when closer to the Sun?
if the asteroid is closer to the sun does it go faster or slower
What is in an asteroids aptmosphere?

What are the names of the asteroids that cross Earth's orbit and Jupiter's orbit?
Main Belt asteroids -- a band of asteroids located in the "missing planet" gap between Mars and Jupiter. None of these are economically attractive in a near term program because they are too far from Earth.Amor asteroids -- asteroids whose orbits approach but do not cross Earth orbit, and whose orbits are further from the Sun than Earth's orbit (i.e., "outside-t" Earth orbit). Many have orbits which reside entirely between Earth and Mars. Some of these are economically attractive in the near term.Apollo asteroids -- asteroids whose orbits cross Earth's orbit. Apollo asteroids spend most of their time outside Earth orbit. Many of these are economically attractive in the near term.Aten asteroids -- asteroids whose orbits cross Earth's orbit. Unlike Apollos, Atens spend most of their time inside Earth orbit. A large percentage of known Atens are economically attractive in the near term.
