The asteroid belt is a region about a hundred million miles across, so there's no such thing as "a year on the asteroid belt". Any given asteroid in the core region of the belt could have an orbital period from a little under 3 up to nearly 6 years.
1 Ceres, for example, has an orbital period of a bit under 1682 days (4.6 years).

∙ 7y agoSince the asteroids have different orbits - some are closer to the Sun, some are farther - it follows that the time to orbit the Sun also varies. Assuming you mean the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, the time for their orbits must be somewhere between that of Mars (2 years) and that of Jupiter (12 years). As an example, Ceres takes 4.60 years to orbit the Sun once; but you can look up the times for some other asteroids, such as Vesta, Juno, etc.

What is the radius of asteroid vesta?
The average orbital speed of the asteroid Vesta is 19.34 km/s.
What is Vesta?
Vesta - formally known as 4 Vesta. It is an asteroid in the asteroid belt and was thought to be part of a protoplanet. (although the existence of any sort of planet existing, is under debate). It is the second largest object in the asteroid belt, after Ceres the dwarf planet [See related link].
What is third largest asteroid?
According to the US naval astronomical applications department the 3rd largest asteroid body is called 4 Vesta. Ref: http://aa.usno.navy.mil/faq/docs/asteroid_masses Actually, they do not know what the largest asteroid is since Pallas and Vesta both have been designated as the second largest asteroid after Ceres, which is no longer an asteroid. Since Ceres is a dwarf planet now, Pallas or Vesta is the largest now. Since Ceres is a dwarf planet, the third largest asteroid is Hygiea now. Pallas and Vesta are the top two largest asteroids now. Vesta is more massive than Pallas, though.
